My LOs been potty trained for wees for a while now - but yesterday and today he's getting himself constantly -not even attempting to make it to the toilet. I assume it's a regression? Any tips? I don't want to punish him and make it worse, but I don't know how to help him. I can't keep up with our washing as it is!😭

He is potty trained and never had an accident inside. This is the first time it happened. Baby is 10 months old. How do i prevent this and why did he do it?

Does this look like teething ?

My baby has been a little warmer than usual. (99.3 ish today), and she is acting normal, but definitely putting everything in her mouth and chewing. I keep reading that teething doesn't cause a fever but wanted to know if someone has had the case.

Just a rant but I don’t understand why anyone thinks it’s acceptable to tell me to potty train my child. Like she turned 2 a couple days ago and all I’m hearing is ‘she needs to be potty trained’ or ‘isn’t she too old for nappies’. SHE JUST TURNED TWO FFS. Please leave me alone. She’s got time I do plan to potty tra...

Is your toddler potty trained? If so, how did you do it?

Are any moms trying to potty train their toddler at this age? My little girl does well if I stay on top of her going to the bathroom every five to ten minutes. I find it hard/challenging to do this daily because I’m usually cleaning or picking up while she’s playing. Is anyone else in the same boat? Feeling a bit de...

Do you recommend? Please share how old your little one was when you tried.

I need help potty training my 2 1/2 year-old for pre-K next year. We started yesterday and he doesn’t seem to mind poop or pee in his underwear. We started a couple months ago, which is sitting on the potty with his pants down but diaper on. He seems to get all of the potty steps such as pulling the pants down, si...

Can anyone recommend a natural teething medication? I’m reluctant to keep giving calpol, she also has frozen breast milk in a mould but I can’t keep giving that to her over night I like the idea of the roll on balm but there’s so many to chose from

I have always had bad teeth not because I never took care of them but because I have genetic problems. I’m very prone to cavities. Every time I went to the dentist I would have to get them filled. Both sides of my family have problems with their teeth. When I was younger I was never told by my dentist that I would h...

I’m not sure what it is, teething, hungry etc. But all of a sudden she’s throwing crying fits and is bf all the time. A growth spurt perhaps?

Hi all, my EBF bub is 5 months old next week and today I just found out his 2 bottom middle teeth are emerging. He has been miserable for the last couple days, no fever but he refuses BF, only feed 1-2 times during the day and extremely hard to wind him down for sleeping. Any tips on how to help him feel better and...

3 months old is he teething? I see 2 small white bits at the bottom of his gums I have touched it and it doesn’t feel like it’s cutting through

My son turned 3 in January. We didn’t want to push him with potty training, and we were working with the nursery who kept suggesting he wasn’t quite ready (until just before Christmas apparently) He did his first wee at nursery on the potty and we made a huge fuss. And then he did a few wees at home on the potty too...

What potty will you be getting little ones? Or what have you already got? I know we are a long way off but I've been getting my 14 month old used to my sons old potty (it's been used as a step) it's the Thomas the tank engine singing potty and was thinking of getting her something similar but wasn't sure if anyone h...

had mixed opinions on this one!! can someone also tell me where the bladder is??

I was just wondering what this could be.. I've noticed it on my little girls hands.. no where else on the body. Could it just be from her hands being in her mouth and making her hands sore, or could it be something else? She's pretty normal in herself, bar teething horrendously. It seems to be more on her right hand...

Are your little ones wiping their own bottoms? If so how did you go about teaching them? I’m still the one wiping but wondering what age he should start to do it himself.

Hi everyone just wanted to put a post out there to say if anyone’s May 22 baby isn’t using the potty or toilet yet not to worry! I was starting to worry because my boy was showing absolutely no interest in either and this evening all of a sudden he just said “mama I need a pee pee”. I took him to the bathroom and he...
