We've been potty training for 2.5 weeks now and my LG is doing really well. She'll go at home, no problem but she won't use a public toilet even with the childs toilet seat.

We've been doing nighttime potty training for my kid for about 6 months now but we still have to wake him at least once a night for the potty and more often than not he'll wet the bed too....any tips out there? We're exhausted! He doesn't wear a pull up or anything, just pyjamas x

My little girl has seemed really out of character for the last week or so. But the last few days it’s been absolutely relentless! She is saying ‘no’ to everything, crying, screaming, upset, a lot of the time. I’m really aware that this is all normal behaviour for her age, but I can’t help but wonder if anything else...

My 5mo is really really upset with teething at the moment and all that settles him is calpol or sleep. Any other recommendations please mummas? He gets bored of teethers in about 5 minutes and the same with breastmilk lollies x

My eldest has been potty trained since August. She took to it really quickly with the 3 day method, barely any accidents. She’d been happy to take herself off to the potty without prompting for a couple of months, but this last month or so she’s been having an accident nearly every day. I find myself having to promp...

My daughter is gonna turn three years old on the 26th of December. The nursery have been saying our friends go on the toilet and they think she’s ready as she’s starting to tell them when she’s weed and stuff like that. I tried for about two weeks to potty trainer, no nappies apart from at night. pants the whole day...

My little boy is teething and really struggling today. However his teeth don't look anywhere near to cutting, has anyone's babies gums looked like this beforehand? He also has a cold with it which I've heard some babies do? Not a good combo! ❤️
