We’ve cracked the potty training!! 🥳

The thought process behind it is that they will still feel the wetness of having an accident because the wee will be on the wet underwear against their skin, without the mess that comes along with having an accident. If you have tried this, would you recommend it? Any advice for potty training please do share! My t...

I’m a first time mum, my little one has started telling us when he has done a poo, does this mean it’s time to start potty training? I honestly have no idea!

My daughter has really struggled to do a poo now for a few months. I’ve tried all the various foods people suggest to get the system going but nothing seems to work. At best she poos every other day but more often than not, it’s only twice a week. I went to the doctor and have been prescribed Movicol. I’ve been usin...

I’m a FTM to a little girl that will be 15 months old next week. Since the beginning of her life I have always narrated what we or she are/is doing. For the last couple weeks, 100% of the time she is about to poop she tells me “poop!” and then signs and says when she is is “all done.” Anytime she is with me while I ...

Little one is recently potty trained but has had an accident in nursery and has soaked through to her trainers. They are light up ones so not machine washable… best advice to clean them and ensure smells are gone please. Any tips be so helpful! Thank you in advance 💛

My 3 and a 1/2 month old is drooling quite a bit and putting everything in mouth. She’s also getting fussy. Are these signs of teething? If yes, what can I do to help her? Thanks xx

My daughter will be 4 in July. She is still wearing a pull up at night. Was going to see how she does with wearing just underwear soon. Was curious to see when other people's little ones were able to go all night without wetting the bed.

we’re thinking of potty training our 22 month old boy.. any tips??

Hi Everyone, my LO is 11 months and has 4 upper teeth and 3 lower teeth. I’ve noticed that he is grinding his teeth, I can hear it. Should I be concerned? Will this pass? He does not appear to be in any pain, it’s just something he does. Will this damage his teeth in the long run?

Has been cruising for 3 months but still not walking. Started EC at 11 months. He quickly caught on that poo goes in the potty and was basically “poop trained” within a couple of weeks. This has been my priority. We don’t try to catch every pee but go for all the easy catches. Had a little regression recently with...

So my daughter is 3, I also have a 2 year old son so I’m going to try them at the same time ( wish me luck!) my daughter still can’t communicate it’s hand led, this is the first time trying her which she will have 3 weeks off nursery for the Easter break. Is there any tips advice etc? We have the toilet seat with...

I initially planned to potty train from around 6 months but it just never happened. Has anyone potty trained early? My son has just turned one and I would like to start now. Any tips etc would be much appreciated 🚽🥰

Isn't 14 months old too early to be potty training? I'm seeing so many posts in the Jan '24 group about potty training and it seems way too early as they don't seem like they're developmentally ready yet. Some are saying they're having a hard time with it and I'm over here thinking, well, yeah! They're not ready un...

How’s everyone done/doing potty training whilst LO is at nursery? My LG goes nursery 2 days a week and I think she’s ready. I’m planning on doing a 20 min timer and taking her every 20 mins Are nursery likely to do the same?

My little one is one this week and only has two bottom central teeth. It looks like two more are about to erupt but it’s not the centre at the top it’s the lateral ones. Has this happened to anyone else?

When was your toddler fully daytime potty trained

My 3 year old step son got circumcised last Thursday what should I use to clean the area and how

My daughter has been potty trained since last August however pooing on the loo is still rare. She usually goes in her nappy (still needs a nappy for night) when she wakes in the morning before she gets up! She's so evasive about pooing on the loo. Does this just naturally improve ?! I've tried everything to make it ...

For those who are potty training and their LO and also attends nursery how did you do it? My LO goes nursery Mondays - Wednesday. When I am with her Thursday - Sunday I potty train her. I have had to put Nappy on her today but I feel it will damage our progress. Anyone got any advice on Nursery and potty training?
