I just found out this morning, and it makes all the symptoms make sense.

We are coming up to 3 weeks no nappies during the day and have wees pretty much sorted now but poos are such a struggle. He has never done a poo in the potty/toilet and I’m not sure how to approach it as he poos at random times and it’s just happens so quick there is no sign until it’s happening. I don’t want to r...

Is anybody’s bubba’s starting to teeth or showing symptoms that they are?? If so.. what symptoms are you experiencing? I’m unsure if my baby girl is or not so want to hear others opinions and experiences 💕 as she’s only 3 months I’m unsure if it’s too early

I am really struggling and feel awful. My daughter is extremely strong willed. She has been potty trained for quite a few months however we have had a lot of changes in our lives. We have moved house twice in a short period, started nursery and has a new baby brother. In the last month, she’s started withholding her...

Around the world, babies are fully potty trained before one, even though the US often waits until 2 years. Anyone have any success or helpful resources?

My son is 3. He has no interest in potty training apart from sitting on the toilet for fun. I’ve been trying to have him sit on it regularly and try to potty, but he’s only peed in it once. I tried the potty training underwear, but he will just sit in them wet. Won’t even say anything about it I just have to notice ...

Not specifically when your LO potty trained, just what you think is the norm?

Hey I’m a FTM with a 14 month old and I’ve seen a few posts about potty training, am I supposed to be doing this now am I late? I just can’t keep up with all these new things to do😅 he can’t even walk yet so I thought master that first😂

Hi guys so I bought a potty the other day just to get her used to sitting on it and showing her what it’s for, I took her nappy off and sat her on it and she was absolutely terrified I couldn’t calm her down and now any time she remotely sees the potty she screams, I tried again to show her it’s okay and it’s not go...

My little one is showing signs of wanting to use the potty (I think anyway). He’s been saying “potty” “peepee” and “poopoo” and when he’s pooped he tells me “eww stinky”. Do you know of any useful books/ blogs/ social media accounts… ANYTHING helpful with potty training? Maybe even something for boys specifically?...

My LG is cutting her back molars, she’s miserable, being funny with food, crying in her sleep, always has her finger in her mouth or biting her dummy and today has a temp of 37.6 in one ear and 38 in another, she’s woke up her normal self, drinking and has eaten cold yogurt. When she is ill she is the child that ge...

Help! I took this week off to stay at home with my daughter (who just turned 2 on Halloween) to work on potty training. We started with being half naked midday yesterday and she doesn't really seem to know when she's going to pee. When she feels the need, she just pees and doesn't realize she needs to move to the po...

We just bought her potty. I am looking for suggestions on how to start the process, bonus points if you already went through this successfully!

Can anyone advise on what this white dot is?? Is it her tooth coming through?

I’m not sure what to think of this, but our partner just left the room to go change his pants in the bathroom because he didn’t want to change in front of our little girl. I feel like this is a really illogical thing to do. I know she’s still little but she needs to learn about boys and girls at some point, and I ...

Mason has started teething, he is very dribbly and pink cheeked. But only seems to be in pain in the evenings. So I have been given Calpol or Nurofen. Does anyone have any ideas? We have teething toys but he doesn't really put them in his mouth more just wave them about. He has literally just turned 4 months old.

My friend told me to start standing and not sitting. But I just don't know where to begin with standing. Help!

Have you started any kind of potty training or toilet introduction? If so, how are you doing it and how is it going?

Idk how else to convince her to go potty in the bathroom. I showed her videos, told her she's too big now, gave an example of her friend. She just doesn't want to stop wearing it! She knows the difference between pee and poop but idk like is this normal? How long am I going to have to do this for?! Anyone have tips?...

My girl is still refusing to go on potty or toilet, she sometimes sits on it but won’t do anything. She always asks for her nappy back on, any advise ?🙈
