Has anyone started potty training their babies? Our LG is 17 months and we started training yesterday, 3 poos in the potty and multiple wees, and so far, it has been the easiest thing to do!

Has anyone thought about weaning yet? LO is 6 months December 6th, but 6 months technically on the 27th of this month. I’ve had two diff HVs tell me to wait until December but also that from November is fine so just wanted to see where you guys are at! She has 2 teeth, can sit up in high chair perfectly fine and al...

Not sure if I'm seeing things, or if teeth look different coming up than I thought. But does my LG have 2 teeth coming through, or is this just how one looks coming through? Excuse her face, she wasn't impressed with me changing her nappy 🤣

Me and my little girl have down with the winter vomiting bug. She's been potty trained for over 2 weeks but I'm having to keep her in pull ups as she's just not getting to the toilet on time and my couch is needing washed my carpets you name it 😢 I feel awful and worried I'm going to set her back again with the…

I’ve potty tried my son when he’s at home to use the potty but won’t if he’s wearing underwear. He will sit on potty in his underwear and go toilet so any tips on how to potty train them in underwear?

am i a complete failure for not even trying to potty train yet? 🫠 we encourage it but he has no interest. I know it’ll take work but I read a lot of articles saying closer to 3 years can be easier on them and a higher success rate? maybe i’m just in denial. I work fulltime and it’s super hard to only be home weekends

My son is 4.5 months old and is teething and I don’t know what to do the only teether he likes looks like a banana and he puts it in his mouth and yanks it out which results in his gums being cut open then he doesn’t want to eat currently the past 2 days I’ve been giving him Tylenol to help twice a day I try to stre...

My daughter is 2.5 years old. She's my first. We started potty training on a whim yesterday because she asked to wear the undies I bought her for whenever we decided to start. So I brought the potty chair downstairs, and she had a "nakey bum" day yesterday 😂. She did amazing! Only 2 accidents in the morning when…

I've been seeing alot of posts lately about the amount of poos and teething. What's the correlation ? Can anyone enlighten me as I am clueless

Currently attempting with my 2 and a half year old (day 2) and it's not going well. How many accidents before you're like "okay you're not ready yet"

I have a feeling this may get intense people seem to have strong feelings around toothpaste, or fluoride rather 😅 To fluoride non spitting toddlers or not to fluoride? Dentist said, yes 😬

Sorry for the tmi picture. my LO had his 1 year injections last week and his got a tooth come through. His done around 7 poos today and they all look like this, they are very sweet he is BF. His absolutely fine in himself

I'm getting so stressed, I'm only on day 2 and my son just won't go on his potty when he needs a wee he's peed on the couch 4 times, in the kitchen and in the living room plenty of times. I've had to sit him on his potty for a period of time and when he pees I've made it very dramatic and said yay clever boy etc but...

Hello, looking for a bit of advice. A few weeks ago my LO was badly constipated but it improved after getting some medicine from the GP. However since then, she is having the most horrendous time going to the toilet, clearly holding it in and getting herself in such a state sometimes for an hour at a time because sh...

FTM here so no clue, my baby’s bottom teeth are coming through, one is cut (I can literally see the gum cut and tooth under) the other isn’t. Once the gum is cut is that the worst of it? Or does it carry on as the tooth grows? Hoping the other tooth will follow soon. Shes not been doing too bad overall but her sle...

Seeing I am here alone during the day I am petrified of walking away and my daughter getting into stuff and getting hurt However, I am having a hard time with my bathroom breaks. Do you other moms take your little to the potty with you? Then its her playing with stuff in the bathroom so I end up not going and being...

So my little boy does amazing with going to the potty for a wee and poo when he has nothing on his bottoms but as soon as I put pants or jogger bottoms on he forgets about the potty. How can I encourage him to go with something on.. he has no problem in pulling them down and if he does he asks for help but I just do...

My baby is 14 weeks old and is inconsolable today, she has a rashy face, dribbling like crazy, chewing on her hand and she has a bit of a sore bum. It’s textbook symptoms but is she too young?

If you are a potty training boy mom , when did you begin teaching them to stand? I’m a single mom so I’m like when and how do I teach him this? 😂
