We’ve been trying the past month but he got sick for a whole month off and on so we stopped being strict about it. But I need advice of how to go about it.

Potty Training

Has anyone used a 'My Carry Potty' and found it useful when out and about? I'm just wondering whether it's worth spending the money on or just to bring a regular potty or toilet training seat when we go out!

First wee on the potty!

Hi all my little boy did his first wee on the potty today. He took his bottoms and nappy off and when we asked if he needed to go for a wee he said yeah.

Potty training

Started my 6 month old potty training, we are on day 3 and she’s used the potty 4 times today! My mum potty trained my brother and I from 6 months and by 12 months we were out of nappies completely.

Potty training

When does potty training start?? It feels too early to even talk about it, but my daughter on 2 occasions, made a “stink face” to tell me she pooped. Wondering if we’re getting close to the time… Is anyone started potty training? Is anyone not even thinking about it yet?

5 week old boy

I am hoping to start EC this week (been so tired that I haven’t noticed any cues). Sounds like the best way to start is hold him over the toilet/sink before and after every feeding ? And hope for the best? Ha
