My little boy turned 3 in Feb and is still not showing signs of being ready to potty train. We have a potty and a small toilet seat which I sit him on every evening before bath time. I brought pants for his bday but he insists on wearing his nappies 🙈 any tips? I spoke with nursery and they just told me he obvs…

My son is 3, turning 4 in August. He’s fully potty trained and has no problems during the day. He wears pull ups at night for bed. This last month his pull ups for the most part have been completely dry & last 2 nights he’s been actually waking up in the middle of the night to go pee in the toilet & will go back to ...

So my daughter is nearly 19 months, she’s able to tell me once she’s done a poo in her nappy and will sit on the potty randomly but not do any wees as of yet. Do I start now or should I wait a little longer? TIA 🥰

Does anyone know if we are meant to go to the dentist as soon as baby has their first teeth? I’ve read a few different things so I’m a bit confused. Thank you

Im about to start potty training, eith my toddler boy. Is there any advice u have? My mum in law thinks we need to stay inside for days and focus on that but i dont think that will work. Asny other approaches that have worked?

Anyone else’s little sick the day before they cut a tooth? Might be a coincidence but the past 3 teeth he’s cut he’s actually thrown up loads through the night and woke up with a cut tooth? 🦷

Why is it this generation of parents are sending kids aged 4/5 to go school with nappies on? Stop being lazy and teach your kid how to use the toilet. Teachers are there to teach not to be a parent. Stop allowing your child to be in charge and be a parent! This is excluding those with children who are neurodivergent.

Is anyone child fully toilet trained? My son is awaiting autism assessment but it has been really hard, his communication is limited. Has anyone got any advice or suggestions?

Anyone else on the same boat? I have tried to keep my potty training consistent but LO resists it. Tried all kinds of tips, moving the nappies and all changes to the bathroom. Sitting her down on the toilet often. She just holds it in until I put the nappy back on. I’m trying to thread carefully and not make her h...

My girl is absolutely smashing potty training in the day now.. how do we transfer that to night time and when do you know she’s ready not to have nappy’s on at bedtime?

How old was your kiddo when you got them nighttime potty trained? My son turns 5 in 3 weeks & we’re only daytime trained.

I have a routine dental check up tomorrow and just wondered if that check up will now be free or if it’s only free dental prescriptions and treatments (such as a filling) that you get free? I have my exemption form and am with an NHS dentist Thank you :)

My LG has never really been a crying baby only ever when teething or ill does she cry. She currently has tooth #7 cutting and has been fussy but it’s a small one on the bottom and she is crying WAY more than normal with it. She usually gets 2 at a time and has never been this cry-ey!! She had a cold last week with ...

Any advice on what to do? Baby has been chewing her cot! Second time I’ve caught her doing it now and she’s done some damage already

Clueless first time mum! Look for some advice on what’s worked for more experienced mamas!

So my daughter has been sitting on the toilet for a while now first thing in the morning, before baths and sometimes before naps! Not always successful but has done it for a while and is happy on the toilet! She is scared of the potty though… This week we decided to go all in and start potty training! She’s been in...

Hey Mamas? I guess I just kinda assumed having a c-section I wouldn’t have to deal with this but since I did attempt a vaginal delivery, that’s probably why. Anyone else dealing with bad urgency? Like as soon as you gotta go, it’s like the pressure goes from zero to 100 in minutes? I feel like I wanna cry when I fee...
