So my baby was crying and I happened to notice a tooth that looks like it’s growing right behind a tooth! I felt it and it feels sharp like a tooth. First time mum so no idea how the teeth come in so I’ll apologies if it’s a ridiculous question…

We've been potty training since early December He's done great with it at so i first thought... we had a few no accidents at nursery and generally no accidents while our the house Then around 2/3 weeks ago it's accidents every single time now .. I took him back to bare bum he'll do a little wee, then say potty. I...

I've been struggling with potty training for months now. She had period where she was doin good and then started reverted back. I was using diapers while she slept and when we left the house. Now when using undies she just goes in them. I just started back with going commando in the house. What would you guys recomm...

How are our July 2022 babies doing with the potty?

Hi all! I was just wondering if anyone’s started potty training yet? i’m a FTM and have no idea where to start and have so many questions! is it too early? how do i know when she’s ready? i’m clueless🤣

Has anyone started putting their babies on the potty? My little guy is definitely aware when he needs a poop so I'm thinking I should start putting him on the potty? Does anyone have any recommendations as to a good potty?

Is my baby teething? She has all the signs, but she’s been having them first couple months now I’m not sure if it is her teeth

My daughter will be 3 in June. I'm a FTM who has tried every method and her struggle seems to be letting us know beforehand that she needs to go. She will only tell ys as it's happening which is a struggle bc IDK what to do anymore and we're at the point where she keeps getting diaper rashes (she has sensitive skin)...

I only ask as my daughter is just over 2 weeks into training (she’s doing amazing!) but when we’re out, I’m sticking her on travel potty every 40 mins or so, so she doesn’t have an accident. She’s started to tell me when she needs a wee at home, although most of the time I’m prompting beforehand anyway. I know she w...

I’ve been teaching her this since young . Now she’s potty trained and when I try to wiper her butt for her it’s “ nooooo mommmy that’s my boom boom . That’s my booty” . Can’t even say anything bc she’s so right 😭😭

My boy is about to be 2.5 and we have really struggled with potty training. When he turned 18 months he loved sitting on the potty and even did a few wees here and there which was great, but now he hates it all together. He hates having no nappy on, we have tried a toilet seat with stool, potty, the lot! Is anyone e...

My oldest is 4 today.. Still not using the loo or potty and as you all know.. it's big school year this year.. He's terrified to sit on the potty and toilet.. I've tried everything I can think of. Whiteboard pens on the back of the toilet.. letting him see that I sit on the toilet, leaving the potty in the room w...

My son isn’t quite ready for potty training yet, however he is constantly pulling his nappy to the side like it makes him uncomfortable. I would like to buy a potty to have for when he is ready. Can anyone recommend a good one? Thanks

I feel like so many people in this group are talking about potty training their 14/15 month old babies and it just seems soooo young to me as most things say to train between 18 months and 3 years with around 2 being the most common age. When are you saying they are trained? Personally unless they can be independe...

Today I set up a seat and attached step for the toilet. Little one is speech delayed. We did try in the summer Im but she just wasn’t ready. I have read lots of potty books, porgy songs (shown the Bing, Duggee cocomenlon super simple potty songs). Today had some nappy free time she sat on the new seat lots. Put her ...

Hiya! My 3 month old is drooling constantly and is always chewing on his hands or wanting to chew on our fingers, could he be starting to teeth soon or is it too soon? Tried to give him some toys to chew on to give the old fingers a break but he struggles with them. Any suggestions on what to give him?

Not gonna lie I am clueless to this. We have had a potty for a while but she’s not shown interest until the last few weeks. We took her to pick her own underwear, bought her a no more nappies story book and sticker chart. Yesterday was the day we thought let’s see how it goes. I was working so my partner was respons...

Does this mean he has an ear infection? He’s not really messing with it but he’s not teething either

my daughter has become very fussy over the past 2 days and has been screaming more than usual (sounds like painful screaming). yesterday i noticed this on her bottom gums and was wondering if maybe she's teething? her cheeks haven't been red though. she is 3 months old

(If anyone!) Those who did an actual potty/portable potty and Those who used the actual toilet with a small seat and step, how did you find doing either method in general? Wondering which route to take! X
