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...

If you've started potty training have you been successful? How did you do it? If not, when do you plan to start?

1st time mom here! I have a 15th month old, when should I start trying to potty train him and does anyone have tips for potty training a boy? Thanks 💙

My little one has been so unsettled since this afternoon. We’ve been doing calpol, ibuprofen, granules, frozen formula in feeder and gel on teething toys and gums. Every time I put him down to sleep he cries so I get him out, rock him and he had a couple of sucks on the bottle then falls asleep, then we repeat. Do...

My bf 31 yr old bathroom habits are bothering me and we just argued about it. He’s peed in the bed while drunk, has peed on the bathroom floor, peed in my bathroom trash can and pees on the seat and splatters onto the wall. He also leave poop streaks in the toilet and sometimes even poop. I’ve cleaned up but this is...

My little one was awake every hour last night and today has cried most of the day - his checks are very red and he’s been attached to me all day. I just can’t settle him, what’s the best teething stuff you have used?

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 .

My son will be 2 on the 13th of April. He’s been really good at peeing on potty and staying dry. He still struggles to tell us when he has to go…occasionally he will. My main struggle is pooping on potty….how do we get him to go poop on the potty and let us know before hand he has to go? We want to get him fully pot...

Hi. We've been potty training my little boy for the past 5 days. He's been doing great at home. Usually has 1 accident per day and is doing poos on the potty. Today was his 1st day and nursery and hasn't gone well at all. He's gone through 7 sets of bottoms so far today! He's got 1 more set of clothes left so they s...

So, i have a 5 year old but when he went through teething, we didn't even know about it 😅 So not sure if this may be teething? My little girl was fine yesterday until around 5pm. She started projectile vomitting and was very upset. She's gone off her bottles (usually has 7-8oz 3x a day but only drinking 1/2oz),…

My LG who turned 3 last week started potty training yesterday, we had tried before at 2 year's and 5 months but due to a family illness had to stop. She's going to be so hard to train, she's very smart, picture memory but says no I sit on the potty later when you ask her to and causes a tantrum when you make her ...

Should I be expecting teeth soon ? Or is this just what they look like ?

My boy will be 10 months old next week and I can finally feel/see his bottom teeth starting to cut. He was really upset yesterday and more clingy than ever with me and his dad when we were visiting family for mother's day. He sobbed any time he even looked at anyone other than us, and that's so not like him he's nor...

Hey, started potty training & going really well with peeing. Issue is that my LO hasn’t moved his bowels for 3 days now. Complaining that he needs a poop or telling me he needs his nappy changed because he has pooped but he hasn’t. He’s often running to me quite upset saying oh no poo. Like it’s a bad thing. When w...

When did you guys start potty training? I still feel it’s too early for my 13 month old, but would like to get a few age recommendations as well as some potty training tips and seat recommendations! She tells me when she has went “poopoo” so I feel the time is coming soon!

Hi, I started potty training my lg today officially as she has two full weeks off of nursery for the Easter holidays and figured it was a good time to focus on it. She's done great today, 4 wees across the afternoon in her potty and wearing her 'big girl knickers' no accidents which is great. My issue is that she d...
