Teething

My little girl already has 10 teeth but she’s teething again I think it’s her molars now coming though now she’s 1 😔 before with teething she just got a bit upset and a sore bum but she’s now getting a high temp and being very clingy. Anyone else noticed the bigger teeth cause more symptoms?

Potty Training in 3 Days?!?!

Has anyone done this successfully?! If so, any advice to a toddler who holds it all in like a champ and just waits til “sleepy underwear” (aka overnight pull up) comes on and then pees? Whether nap or at night? Day 1 she did great! But day 2 she held it in before nap then again before going to bed. We’re on day...

On Day 3 of the 3-day Potty Training method and my 2.5 yo is frustrated and exhausted by it, he has been protesting this whole process, not sure when to give up (I’ve tried the sticker board incentives, Spider-Man underwear, candy)

I’m on Day 3 and he refuses to use it or even signal to me when he needs to go so I’m constantly on watch trying to get him onto the potty and timing him but he will not go on the potty, I don’t want to switch from underwear to pull ups but I know he will not be able to use the potty at school yet

Is this weird - Potty training

When I was potty training my first id walk around with a potty under the pram and whenever they needed a wee I’d let them use the potty regardless of where we were. (Outside only, if inside we would find a toilet) then I’d tip it down a drain, wipe the potty out with a cleaning wipe and carry on with my day. But I d...

Is your LO potty trained? (August 2022 babies only please)

Genuinely curious as I have tried but no luck. My LO became so distressed when asked him to even sit on the potty so we gave upas I don’t want to traumatise him and I have other friends (same age kids) who haven’t even started and don’t intend to until their LO is closer to 3yo

When did you stop sending your toddler to school in pull-ups?

Our school prefers pull-ups if there are some accidents at home but not sure when to cut them out completely if he’s not fully potty trained at school

Teething help

I think my almost six month old is teething. He’s had a stuffy nose the past two days he hasn’t been eating as much and his poops have changed. He is extremely fussy and barely gets any sleep at night. I’m just wondering if anybody has any advice or if they think it’s something else what it might be.
