Alright ladies, I think I am finally ready to start potty training my 2year old. She knows the toilet and liked going into the toilet and seating on it but a lot of the time I catch her after she has already done a poo or she would wait until after I put the diapers back on to do it. Apparently she has done a poo in...

So, a few weeks ago, my boy (20 months old) started telling us when he has pooed and 80% of the time he's right. The other 20% he just wants to go upstairs to play haha. Now he's is telling us while he is actively pooing. Do I get a potty? I never thought to get one this early! He also randomly says wee wee sometime...

My baby tried pears for the first and second time yesterday and today. She got a tiny bit of redness yesterday but I figured I just wiped her face too hard or something. Today she has this rash. Does this look like allergies? She ate the pears about half an hour ago. She is teething up a storm too though

So I’ve been trying to potty my little boy for the past 4 months… still not doing great 🙈 He’s not really that interested in using toilet or potty and obviously having a lot of accidents which is taking its toll on my carpet and sofa.. Apparently he can use the toilet at nursery, but at home it’s just not…

I really struggle to give my LO calpol as he literally screams and cries as I try to give it to him with the syringe. I’ve tried giving it on a spoon too and that just went everywhere and he stopped opening his mouth 🤦🏻‍♀️ Is anyone else in the same boat as I’m feeling like it’s just me struggling atm! He very…

Thankfully atleast she recently started going bathroom with me.In the past she used to scream even to sit on her toilet seat.Now she sits on the toilet and starts singing nursery rhymes n once she finishes all her favourite rhymes. She wants to go out of bathroom.look li...

Has anyone thought about or started potty training yet? We weren’t planning to start until next summer when she is 2, but the last couple of weeks my little girl has started grabbing her nappy if it’s dirty and saying wee wee and poo poo and going in to the bathroom. I’ve read before that when they are ready it ...

Hi guys just reaching out about toilet training my boy he is definitely showing signs of wanting to go. And he definitely knows when he needs to go. The issue we are having is he wont go on the toilet or the potty as he wants to stand up and wee. So we are a bit stumped on what to do we have tried standing him up ne...

Are you all managing to consistently/regularly brush your baby’s teeth even whilst they are teething? My baby’s mouth is so sore for him as he’s teething severely so I’m not managing to brush them at the moment. I feel really guilty and worried about it

I need help! Any one else experienced their little one getting sore with Lidl scented wipes and also found that the Sainsbury's nappie pants don't hold the urine? My little boy is starting to urinate alot more due to him drinking more and the Sainsbury's nappies just seem to leak? They don't last a whole night like ...

Any advice?!?!?! I want to start…

Has anyone started? If so, how are you getting on? My lil girl has been copying her brother (he is 2 1/2) today I picked her up from nursery and they told me she’s been using the potty all day 😅 hoping she will be trained before Christmas 🤞🏽

This is becoming harder than I thought. My 2 yr old son has been sitting on the potty since 18 months. He will pee in it occasionally but won’t poop. I’ve sat him on it for 20 mins at a time, taken him every 45 mins, etc. but he will literally wait until his pull up is put on to then do his business. What am I doing...

Do your kids wipe their own bum? My little boy is fully potty training in the day time but he is struggling with wiping his own bum. He starts in preschool on Monday and I'm a bit worried, will this be a common thing??

My son started potty training yesterday and has absolutely nailed it. He had a few accidents at first but then when he done his first wee on the potty he no longer had accidents. He has done all wees and poos in the potty since, except overnight. We want to leave the house this weekend and I’m wondering what to do...

I just had the biggest scare, I was giving my baby girl some calpol because she’s been so poorly from her teeth, and she choked so bad on it, for 5 minutes she was trying to catch her breath. I’m startled and so upset at my self and feel like the world’s worst mum. Is she going to be okay now, she’s been fine and wa...

My newly 3 year old boy refuses to use the potty now. He knows when he has to go and will tell me..and was doing great using the potty. Now..he demands a diaper. I’ve tried reward charts, trying to make it fun, making it “his” idea….anyone have any better suggestions??

I've been getting these bites all over myself & my baby and they only happen at night and I'm so confused cus I change my sheets every week & im such a clean freak what can it be? A spider bite ?

Has anyone used those reusable washable potty training pants that are said to be able to hold a wee? Which brand is best? TIA

Hi mums, feeling a bit low with this potty training and wondering if it's ever going to click with my girl. I feel like the potty success we have had is luck of her being on the potty at the right time and in regards to getting her to understand/realise when she is going/needs to go is just not happening. I know dee...
