I’ve completely messed it up. I’ve stopped and started multiple times and worst of all I’ve got stressed many times causing extreme meltdowns in my toddler. We tried again today and she is withholding pee and poo and won’t even sit on the potty it makes her too anxious. I know I’ve messed this up but I don’t know ...

Hi, I am trying to toilet train my toddler but don’t know where to start. So I started using pull-ups which I don’t under the point of as it says it teaches from wet to dry but my son is not bothered by it or even mentioned he’s wet or not. But it doesn’t mean he’s not ready as he knows what a toilet is for as he do...

Is it possible for a 2 month old to be teething? My baby is showing all the signs of teething like drooling a lot and biting his fist. It seems to early but maybe possible

One of the school mums kissed my baby on the lips and I was so upset- even I haven’t. I’m sure I’ve seen her have cold sores, something me or my husband never have. My baby has been ill and now has this on her lip. I’m devastated, does it look like a cold sore?

I have a 4, almost 5 year old daughter who keeps having toilet accidents. I suspect she has ADHD as both myself and my mother do too but she gets so easily distracted by toys or the TV etc that she won't realise she needs a wee until it's too late. I can pack extra clothes for her but how do I broach this subject? S...

So first of all pls don’t judge me. I have a daughter she’s 3. I love her so much and I’m worried. She isn’t doing well when it comes to potty training and also she has a speech delay. She knows how to pee and poop on the toilet it’s just a matter of her being consistent with using it instead of using her training p...

I have a query around what to do with an upcoming long car travel. My daughter (3yo) is currently going through potty training and doing well so far. She’s wearing nappy only at nap and night. Rest of the times she wears pants without pull ups or knickers. We have an upcoming car journey, whilst I plan to take break...

We’ve got a few quiet days at home coming up and I feel like my daughter may be ready to start. I’ve got the potty/knickers/sticker chart etc 😂

So! My son is 15 months and for the last couple of weeks, he's been holding his poops in until he either is about to go down for a nap or bedtime. Is anyone else's little one doing the same thing?

Is this common for a teething baby? She’s been teething real hard recently and I’ve noticed this tonight. Paranoid about cold sores but she hasn’t been in contact recently with anyone with them. Has anyone else’s little one had this?

Is anyone else’s 7 month old quite whingy? She will play for honestly 5/10 minutes and then cry or fuss. I know she’s bored so I’ll move her onto something else. If I pick her up she’s absolutely fine but any independent play she gets fed up so quickly and then becomes so so fussy! It doesn’t help she’s cutting two ...

My 2.5 year old has been letting me know when he has to potty and then actually going! (Still working on 💩) and this morning was the first night he stayed dry all night!! I’m soo proud of my baby🩵💙 We used his last diaper last night so it’s time to move on to pull ups! What kind are you guys using? He still a bit…

When are you thinking of introducing potty training? (Also does anyone recommend My Carry Potty? Or have any other recommendations? Thanks!)

My baby is turning 2 in 3 months and she started to tell us when she is about to poop or when her diaper is full of pee. I m thinking it’s the right time to start potty training. Did anyone started ? If so what kind of diapers or underwear did you guys use to get her used? How many days did it take and what process ...

My old girl has sun downers, which is doggy dementia. Do you think it would be possible to teach her how to use one of those buttons that she would press and it say “bathroom” when she’s gotta go potty? She has an old lady bladder lol

I really need opinions/ advice because I'm out of ideas. My daughter will pee in the toilet no problems but every time she poops she goes somewhere and hides and goes in her pants. I don't know how to get her to tell someone when she needs to go.

Was looking at my son's teeth while he was asleep and noticed the skin from his inner lip going in between the teeth. Has anyone's LO had this happen? Should I take him to the dentist or doctor?

What are yall doing about going out while potty training? I really love taking my son to the park but we go to doesn’t have restrooms and we’re only just starting potty training so he’s not communicating when he needs to go just yet nor is he enjoying it.

Does this look like possible teething? Little guy has been extra fussy lately and he’s been avoiding feeding and when he does feed he stops to put his hands in his mouth and bite on them…we have tethers but he doesn’t seem to like them very much…any advice? TIA 🩵

My daughter is under 2.5 years old and I'm just trying to figure out when she is ready for the big step. We've bought a little potty for the living room and the step ladders for the toilet. We leave then oit for her to get comfortable for the month or so. She doesn't really do 4 -7 out of the checklist. Her commun...
