I have a 2 year old who has refused to potty train until a few days ago, but now won’t wear pants! She will go around naked and used the potty but won’t wear pants to go out and if she does around the house then won’t tell me she needs a wee or poo! HELP! I don’t want to force her and scare her as she has gone backw...

Has anyone started potty training yet 🥲 im dreading it!

My girl is pretty much outgrowing diapers, she’s a size 6. But I don’t think she’s ready for potty training, so do I keep her in diapers for the next while until she’s ready (6-8 months from now) or do I use pull ups?

How do u know when your toddler is ready to potty train? Mine keeps taking off his diaper and will “push” when I have him sit on the toilet. He knocked on the bathroom door one time when someone was using it and then pooped after and grabbed at his diaper to let me know. Also how do I begin potty training when he...

When were your little ones ready to potty train? I feel there’s so much pressure to get baby girl potty trained by 2.

I’ve been working with my little guy on potty training…he does excellent with pee, however, he HATES pooping on the potty. As soon as he pees, he’s done. How do I help this, I also don’t want him stressing about this issue.. or to cause him to strain…

Potty training advice and what worked for you?

Needing some potty training tips!!!

Anyone have any recommendations to help a teething 12 week old. He can't grab or hold things well at this point. He is chomping on his dummy alot so I have ordered a teether for me to hold for him and for him to practice with.

My little boy has just turned 2 and we are thinking of potty training, he continually fights when he has his nappy changed. He tugs at his nappy and tugs at his Willy when he has done a wee. Can anyone offer me any advice please as he doesn’t talk much only the odd word like mummy daddy some more please and that’s i...

Has anyone used these ? They don’t have the yellow line down it does anyone know if there’s anything on there that indicates when they’ve done a wee? Thank you :)

Please tell me others are losing their minds with potty training? My LO who is 3 on Saturday will just wee anywhere.. I ask him if he needs a wee he says no and then wees on my floor… I sit him on the potty he screams and cries… I’ve tried the toilet with a toddler seat on.. he cries.. I’m stressing because he s...

My toddler hates getting his diaper changed since he was a baby. Since he’s older it’s getting so hard to change him lately I have to put my energy into singing or distracting him but it’s getting to the point where I’m so exhausted. I want to try to potty train but he doesn’t seem one bit interested. Any moms going...

So we're about 30 hours in to "naked from the waist down" potty training and it's not going well. Started with him doing little tinkles on the floor every 5 minutes. He finally started fully emptying bladder on the potty but no time intervals are working. We tried putting him on the potty every 15 minutes, every 45 ...

2 poo’s and a wee on the potty this evening! So proud of Lily I’m shocked she’s done it! Hopefully it keeps up 🤞🏼also nearly 1 week dummy free! Again so shocked she’s done so well without it after the first day she didn’t even ask about it!

My gum health has declined a lot since getting pregnant. They’re not painful but they’re inflamed and in some parts, quite loose around my teeth 🫠 Dentist isn’t super concerned and said I can wait til after baby’s born for a deep cleaning. I know it can get better after baby’s born but if anyone has positive…

Hey, moms! I want to ask what your thoughts are about potty training. When do you plan to start, and how?

My boy has started climbing everything and wanting to walk everywhere (assisted), he’s struggling on our wooden floor with slipping when he’s got socks on and I would also like to let him walk round outdoors. Just wondering if anyone has used the sock shoes and whether they are worth getting/which ones are best? Or ...

So our daughter will happily do all her daytime wees on the potty or a toilet, no dramas! Pooing however is a completely different situation. She will poo anywhere and everywhere other than the potty or toilet. Yesterday it was a strong, solid number on the patio, this evening a runny, yet vast present left for us...
