My son is teething and his doctor told me that his fever has nothing to do with teething. I always thought them to be connected. Just me????

Hi! Is anyone else struggling with potty training? My two year old (August 22) seems ready (I think) hiding in corners/other room to poo and is really interested in the potty. She has her toys sit on it then flushes. Then as soon as we try her on the potty/toilet she starts crying and won't go, obviously not pushi...

Is anyone potty training yet? And if so how did you start and how is it going? My 20 month old goes when I put her on in the morning she cry’s but still pees we’re on day 3 and I’m so proud of her. When she stops crying about it I’ll start trying through out the day. Also she doesn’t tell me or indicate to me that s...

So my partner wakes up before me every morning. We are at his parents' house, and he went into his study when he woke up. When my son and I woke up, we joined him. The door was closed. Not long after he went and had a shower, came back in and picked up his undies that he'd stuffed on the recliner with all his gami...

How did you do it? We tried a couple months back but he just isn’t telling us when he needs to go and was saying no whenever we said to use the potty. We tried no pants and he would use the potty but when at nursery he’d just wee in his pants and not tell them as they don’t use potties. We wanna try again but don’...

I started potty training my lo when she was 18 months old two months after she was doing well she recognise pee and poo and she knew that pee and poo is in the potty. I’m using all day just panties and at night her nappy . Every morning after waking up I put her straight to the potty and she does pee ! I do this now...

How did you all get your sons to hold there penis down when they pee so they don’t just pee outside of the potty when they are trying to pee in it?

I’m in the first week of toilet training and my toddler isn’t understanding when she needs to go. She will tell me “wee wee” “poo poo” when she has started, but not before. Any advice would be great!

Mason has started teething and been very dribbly, pink cheeked and unsettled, fighting naps. I was wondering typically how long it takes from the teething symptoms coming and the tooth cutting through? I haven't found Google very helpful. He has been like this for about a week ISH.

My LG was showing all the tell-tale signs of teething for about 3-4 weeks (excessive dribbling, flushed cheeks, rubbing her jaw/ ear, slight temp and wanting to chew on everything), however these have all now stopped and she still hasn't cut a tooth. I can feel they're there just under the surface. Is this normal? I...

This is my second go around at potty training my 2.5 year old. I originally tried right around when she turned two and she was refusing to even sit on the toilet so I gave up. Well I want to try to get her potty trained by the time she is 3 so she can go to the preschool I work at so I’m trying again. She succeeded ...

He used to be great but now he’s a bloody nightmare 😂 won’t let us put the toothbrush in, seals his mouth shut. Will only suck off the toothpaste and chew it with his front teeth. I maybe get the back ones with one stroke before he’s gone full on refusal meltdown

My Lo Is 3 about to be 4 in March. I have been consistently trying to get her potty trained since March. She’s not grasping the concept at all. I’ve tried all the tips and tricks that everyone has given me and still no luck. At this point i think it may be a developmental issue. I’m not sure what to do. I’m crying ...

My daughter clearly hates diaper changes as much as I do, she will do a "360 death roll" as I call it and start crawling away with poop all over her. She will scream until she can't scream anymore, she will flare and kick. I bought a diaper changing pad that straps her in so she can't start crawling away on me. I pl...

My girl try’s to wipe when we change her she hides/says “uh oh” when she’s peed/ pooed And she comes up to us with a nappy when she has finished doing her business. Is there any other signs I should look out for to know if she’s ready to start potty training. She is only 18 months.

Hey all, potty training has been going really well and our LO would use the potty every single time and was telling us when she needed to go, until we introduced knickers. Now just keeps having accidents or not even telling us (looks me dead in the eye - "I weeing") How long does this go on for? Am I doing somethi...

My little one has always found toileting difficult as she gets anxious in public toilets and has been frightened of pooping full stop. That’s finally getting a lot better and she said she did a poo at preschool. When I was changing her later that evening I noticed poo marks all over her knickers and her bum was a bi...

Any recommendations? Something soft that isn't cold and doesn't slide too much . He has a toilet potty that flushes but won't sit on it with his trousers off - I think it's because it's cold so thought I'd try seat on toilet?

So my daughter is just over two and half years - I am trying to potty trainer her for the 3rd time. But the issue that we are having is she is holding in her wee and poo, yesterday she held her wee for 4.5h before having an accident as she was no longer able to hold it due to tummy pains. Are any mums experiencing t...
