My little one has been potty training for around a month now and is great when he needs a pee but will not poo, holds it for days and then he ends up doing it in his pants. Tried showing him videos, reading books, getting him to wa...

Blowouts

Anyone else’s baby only have blowouts in the car seat? I sized up my son’s diapers and he only has blowouts in the car seat .. assuming because he’s sitting and the poop has nowhere else to go but up and out. His clothes aren’t too tight either. It’s just so annoying hearing everyone telling me to size up and it’ll ...

Potty training

So we got our daughter a potty on Friday and she’s taken so well to it and so far we haven’t had any accidents and have had 20+ pees on it but no poops so far. She will ask for me to take her nappy off so she can sit on it and gets so excited when she’s done something and will happily show me. At what point do I buy...

Toddler toilet seat?

My daughter enjoys sitting on her potty, but absolutely refuses and gets quite upset at sitting on it when she needs to! She's also really interested and understanding that mummy and daddy go potty on the toilet. So I'm thinking she might accept a toddler toilet step and seat thing. Before I commit to having a bul...

Partner is disgusting

How hard is it to piss in the fucking toilet bowl? Seriously🙄 I've came up the toilet after him and there is piss all over the floor. Had to grab the mop to clean it up. Seriously why are men like this? Id expect it if he was drunk. But seriously what the actual fuck 🤮
