Has anyone started potty training their lo and how is it going ? Any tips for potty training a little boy?

My son refuses to Sit on the potty he doesn't answer when I tell him to sit. When I try to put him on it he completely fights me off and runs away. He follows me to the bathroom and watches me. He knows how to flush the toilet and then wash hands but will not sit on the potty or toilet sit for anything.I don't thin...

So my 5yo daughter has been going to the bathroom every 30-45 mins but no pee flow comes out each time. I’ve taken her twice to doctor and UTI wasn’t the issue which confused me even more. Idk what to do. Anyone have advice or been thru this before?

My little one has been working with potty training and does great at school but not so much at home anymore. Her teacher suggested getting her some underwear as she tells her teacher when she needs to go. I know they make the thicker ones that way accidents don't run down the legs. Does anyone know of a really goo...

My baby is in a lot of pain because of teething. He’s so upset most of the day and yesterday was the first time where teething pain actually affected his sleep, he could not sleep until about 4 am after I gave him some Tylenol. He pulls on his ear a lot and gnaws aggressively at whatever comes his way. I’ve been try...

Sorry this is gross but any advice on how to encourage your LO to wipe after a poop? My son has been potty trained for quite a while but will not even attempt to wipe after a poo and when I mentioned casually to him that he needs to start learning to wipe himself before he goes to school because the teacher won't do...

Anyone using teething gels and granules for longer than 7 days? Little one is none stop teething! We started with Calpol for ages every night and came across the gel and granules. He will bite and chew on anything other than actual teething toys so I don't think they're helping.

My 2 month old keeps putting his finger in his mouth, what could this mean? 🤔

It’s been 8 days since we started and my girl is doing great with pee but having some serious fear of release with number ✌️ It’s physically and emotionally taxing. Anyone else dealing with an anxious pooper?

My wee man has just started walking independently in the past few days. Can he still wear these pre-walkers or do I need to get him different shoes? What would you recommend…

I’m potty training my son and every time he pees, he feels he has to touch the pee coming out🤢 how do I get him to stop ??

Might be an odd question, but my little one is pretty much dry through the night now and we are going to ditch the nappies altogether. What should she wear instead under her pajamas? Knickers? Or nothing?! I don't know 🤣

We’ve cracked the potty training!! 🥳

The thought process behind it is that they will still feel the wetness of having an accident because the wee will be on the wet underwear against their skin, without the mess that comes along with having an accident. If you have tried this, would you recommend it? Any advice for potty training please do share! My t...

I’m a first time mum, my little one has started telling us when he has done a poo, does this mean it’s time to start potty training? I honestly have no idea!

My daughter has really struggled to do a poo now for a few months. I’ve tried all the various foods people suggest to get the system going but nothing seems to work. At best she poos every other day but more often than not, it’s only twice a week. I went to the doctor and have been prescribed Movicol. I’ve been usin...

I’m a FTM to a little girl that will be 15 months old next week. Since the beginning of her life I have always narrated what we or she are/is doing. For the last couple weeks, 100% of the time she is about to poop she tells me “poop!” and then signs and says when she is is “all done.” Anytime she is with me while I ...

Little one is recently potty trained but has had an accident in nursery and has soaked through to her trainers. They are light up ones so not machine washable… best advice to clean them and ensure smells are gone please. Any tips be so helpful! Thank you in advance 💛

My 3 and a 1/2 month old is drooling quite a bit and putting everything in mouth. She’s also getting fussy. Are these signs of teething? If yes, what can I do to help her? Thanks xx

My daughter will be 4 in July. She is still wearing a pull up at night. Was going to see how she does with wearing just underwear soon. Was curious to see when other people's little ones were able to go all night without wetting the bed.
