She usually goes in her nappy (still needs a nappy for night) when she wakes in the morning before she gets up! She's so evasive about pooing on the loo. Does this just naturally improve ?! I've tried everything to make it ...

So potty training has begun because my LG is ready… But I wasn’t 😂 So we’ve nailed it the last few days in the house, very few accidents, happy to wee or poo on toilet or potty.

What is this on my baby’s gums? I’m hoping it’s the beginning of a tooth since he has been teething, but i’m worried it’s a cold sore or something like that.

Is anyone else thinking about introducing a potty? My lb is 14 months old and he's started letting us know when he's done a poop and needs changing.
