Pooing in the loo!

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 ...

Potty training & Nursery

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?

One has been in the bathroom and downstairs for a couple of months now and she will sit on it and say “poo” and on a couple of occasions she has done that and actually had a poo in her nappy, and she tells me w...

Tooth or cold sore?

What is this on my baby’s gums? I’m hoping it’s the beginning of a tooth since he has been teething, but i’m worried it’s a cold sore or something like that. We were visiting my MIL for the weekend and she was kissing his face behind my back after been asked not too, so i’m really hoping it’s not that. (i have a ho...

Potty training

Is anyone else thinking about introducing a potty? My lb is 14 months old and he's started letting us know when he's done a poop and needs changing. He'll grab his changing mat and shout on us to change him. I was thinking more of introducing it rather than full on potty training. Is anyone else in the same boat ...

Potty training & going out

Planning on potty training my toddler soon and I was wondering how are we going about when you go out? I know the first few days we’ll be home but when you go out do you take a portable potty in the car? Public bathrooms? All advice is welcome, thank you!

Toddler punishments

Please tell me what works with your toddler. I have tried time out which results in a dirty protest most times (weeing all over herself or on floor). I also want to get her to stop intentionally weeing on the floor but if she's already on time out.. I got no ideas.
