Only thing is I’m so overwhelmed and have no idea where to start 🥴 We are flying to Ireland in March so I’m planning to introduce the potty when we…

How are you navigating potty training

Day 1 2 times my LG has just stood and wet herself not 2 minutes after sitting on the potty 🙃 I've been trying to put her on every 30-40 minutes and she does sit on it for a few then gets off and she's just weed afterwards 🙈 Any advice?

Potty recommendations?

Looking at getting a potty to get my LO used to it (we’re not at the training stage yet). Any recommendations? I never knew there were so many different types. Are the ones that look like mini toilets worth it?

Help!

I don't know if she is teething, if she is feeling grotty, going through a regression or just the most miserable child that someone ever birthed but this kid is testing me!

Potty training

I’ve just begun to potty train and it’s not going great? I thought he was more than ready he tells me when he’s done a poo and a wee and hates his nappy on, but he won’t take the nappy away and try pants or even just nothing? He is just screaming at the mere thought of the potty! Has anyone any tips

Should I be potty training?

My daughter is 1 year old, and I'm trying to wean her off breastfeeding. I also want to start potty training her. Am I moving too fast for her, or should I continue with what I'm doing?

Would like advice my daughter is 9 weeks on Tuesday and has been crying but sounds like she’s uncomfortable making noises at the end like ‘ayyy’ at the end of her cry and has been chomping on her hands recently and I can’t figure out what’s wrong, could this be colic or early teething signs?

Toilet Training 💩

Hello We started toilet training one week ago. We kind of followed the 'oh crap' method. My son has done amazingly well with wees. He's managed a couple of 💩 on the toilet. However, he has been holding in poos 💩 for a few days which then normally results in an accident in his pants. For a few hours up to the 💩…

We need to go out tomorrow and I’m a bit anxious about it, I don’t want to put pull ups on her and confuse her when she’s not wearing them at all during the day.

Just does it in his...
