Extra clingy

Is anyone else’s LO going though an extreme clingy phase?? Last 2 days I can’t even go to the toilet without telling her or asking if she wants to come because if she sees I’m gone she gets HYSTERICAL 😩. She’s fine and well, sleeping and eating well but I do think back molars are coming in…

Martial arts

Day 3 potty advice

She's gone 5 hours without any accidents but she has been drinking various fluids in between. We decided to go out and I put a nappy on. At th...

Now a few months later.. she is constantly having wee accidents. She tends to say that she needs a wee but will have already done it by this point. Sometimes I wonde...

Teething??
