Morning all! We’ve given potty a go today as I thought LG was ready as her communication is great and she’s been doing a wee on the potty before the bath for over a week. This morning however has been a little chaotic 😅. She is saying wet or wet as she’s doing on or just after but there’s not enough tile…

Hello. I’m a first time mum so please be gentle to me the below question might sound silly. I think we are at the thick of teething!

Any tips on helping my three year old son to start pooping on the potty? He started peeing on the potty at 18mos! .. but he has a fear of pooping. He knows when he has to poop.

My LO is 6 months in a few days and seems to be teething though it’s hard to tell. What symptoms did you all experience when your baby was teething?

So we are just starting with potty training. My toddler had no interest until about 2 weeks ago. Things are going how you would expect. We do training underwear during the day and she’s going pretty good with pee but we are yet to get a poo in the potty. My question though is about night time and nap time. My girl i...

Is anyone else dealing with a super stubborn toddler? My little girl is flat out refusing to use her potty. We tried to go cold Turkey a couple of months ago, but she was just holding it and holding it and making herself ill. When we bring up the potty she just shouts ‘no’ or ‘I don’t want potty’. I don’t want to sc...

I have a 5 year old as of next month who is refusing to poop in the potty. He is GREAT peeing, only needs a pull up to poop. Nothing is helping. Dr is recommending miralax to forcefully get it out and put him on the toilet. Anyone else go through this? So worried .
