Community Posts, Tips & Support on Child Development

I’m not shaming not at all just asking out of curiosity tbh but keep seeing posts about potty training surely 14/15 months is too early? Or is it not? I was always in the mind set of if you are having to put the child on a potty at a set time because you know they generally go to toilet at that time (poo) it isn’t...

We are going to try potty training next weekend, any top tips?! We have 5 days at home with her and then will continue whilst she is at childcare etc. We have bought a potty and toddler toilet seat, ready and raring to go! Please give tips, encouragement, ideas that helped!

So my little girl had a slight opening on her bottom gums left tooth, which you can now see a little white tooth and its sharp to touch but doesn't seem to be growing out of the gum very much? This happened on Sunday, when should the tooth grow through properly? Is it normal for one to grow before the other? I thoug...

Think my sons are coming through but it’s hard to tell!

How do you all potty train boys? My son is almost 3 and he takes his diaper off but refuses to sit on his training potty. Any suggestions or tricks would be help a lot!

Does anyone have a successful potty training with her toddler while going to daycare? our daycare provider insists on putting pull ups on till fully trained But I feel that my daughter’s confused and sometimes she refuses sitting on potty! Can I ever potty train her while using pull ups or it’s impossible like i...

LO has been potty trained a few weeks now, we waited until she was fully ready and did this at her pace, she has done amazing with wees, completely dry during the day with hardly any accidents. She was very fussed with such an achievement, and got a few treats etc. However she is withholding poos. We have tried a ...

Hey yall, so about a week ago i got a black lab mix and shes a great dog over all but will not go potty outside. I will put her outside on a chain for 2 ish hours at a time then bring her back in and she immediately runs to my carpet to pee and poop so i put her back outside. How can i get her to stop only peeing a...

Ok so maybe this is a silly question, however... My LO keeps her mouth open like that when she is playing or exploring new things etc is that normal or anything to be worried about?

I’m having trouble with toddler being very upset and difficult to settle over the last few days. It could be her being overtired, her tooth is coming through, terrible twos, testing boundaries, I don’t know 😭 Up until Saturday we were doing great but I feel like I don’t even know how to calm her atm 😭

Are they worth it? How would I do it? I bought some with no idea how it's gonna go down 😅 So far I try to take my son to the toilet every hour but somehow I miss when he either pees or poops in them. It's a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be If anyone has tips I would greatly appreciate it

My 1 month old is kind of giving off signs of teething is that possible to be happening already?!

Hi the roof of my 11month old has this bit on it. Is this normal? Should I call doctor? Thanks

I know potty training is mentioned soooo much on here. Its the stage we are at in our little ones lives though. I feel like it's never going to happen. I honestly blame myself as I know I should have started from the age of 2. We did get potty out sometimes but with him not talking it was just hard and he wasn't re...

My kid knows how to remove her pant and sometimes her diaper before she poops obviously on the floor 🥲🥲. She is 16months by the way.

Day 5 of potty training and I'm about ready to lose my head 🤣 potty was directly behind her and instead she just chose to pee on rug instead🙃 most of the time she will go on the potty but only when not wearing anything on her bottom half otherwise she will just wet her trousers. I'm also terrified to go out of…

Help please! My little boy is 2 years and 3 months. In the last couple of weeks we've been reading lots of stories about potties and no more nappies. We've put Teddy on the potty/toilet, he's seen his cousin (same age) use the toilet, he knows that's where wees and poos should go. The potty is out all the time. When...

My 3 year old just outright refuses to use the potty, I’ve tried different types of potty’s, I’ve tried him on the toilet. The odd times he’ll do a wee but other than that he screams to get his nappy back on. I need him out of nappy’s by September as he’s going to a different part of his nursery and they’re not as l...

So my eldest is 4 next month and we are still really struggling with toilet training. We’ve been trying on and off since she was like 2.5 years old. To start with she was happy sitting on the potty but a bit freaked out when she did a wee on the potty and we just kept offering it but basically letting her decide the...
