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?

Hi I was wondering other peoples experiences as I’ve heard from a few people we know boys can be more lazy then girls with going to the toilet ? My son is 4 and has been really good using the toilet day/night since he was about 2 and a half maybe 3 years old, the past month at least once a week he’s coming home fro...

So potty training has begun because my LG is ready… But I wasn’t 😂 So we’ve nailed it the last few days in the house, very few accidents, happy to wee or poo on toilet or potty. So today I tried to go to our local park. Made her do a wee before we went. Walked there, 5 mins. Played at park 5 mins… Then she did a…

Do you have any recommendations for a comfortable but fairly basic potty? My baby is 8.5 months old. Thanks ladies! X

My little girl just turned 19 months old yesterday and I’m thinking about starting to introduce the potty? 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...

How many times does your husband go to the restroom?!?! My gut doesn’t feel right. LITERALLY LIKE EVERY FKN 40M or if we’re out he’ll go if he sees a restroom??….

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...

Anyone have tips on potty training a nonverbal child? I thought about printing a picture of a toilet to see if he would point to it when he needs to go. Any other ideas?

So we started potty training my 25 month old and she did well the first day and did a few wee’s on the potty and everything was great then today, all of a sudden, she is really nervous around it and she is holding her wee to the point that she is in pain and I have to put a nappy on so she will release herself. She ...
