Welcome to potty Training Headquarters
Toilet training is something that every parent should strive for, eventually.
However, it's not something that every parent needs to aim for straight away. It's also unnecessary to worry about it at all, at least for the first couple of years in your child's development.
Of course, every child is different, so some develop quicker than others, and that's okay. We will look at just how important toilet training is and what you can do about it.
We also thought we could throw in a potty training readiness checklist for all of you who think you might be ready to try it out. If your child ticks all the things on the list, then it's perhaps time for you to take that next step! Stay tuned for that at the end of this post.
Sometimes, you have to get a little creative to get your little one to take potty training, and that can involve anything from singing songs, to acting it out yourself, or even turning going potty into a game... Seriously.
But there are other great ways of getting your kid used to potty training too, and a fun new way is to incorporate shows your kid loves into potty training. It doesn't matter if it's Peppa Pig, Frozen, Spiderman, or whatever the latest trend is, using characters from TV shows, movies, and books that your kids love is a great way to encourage them!
So today's post will take you through a bunch of fun new ways to make going potty less of a stress for you and your kid! Ready? Let's dive right in!
If your child is staying dry all day, but you still wake up to wet sheets every morning, it can be a little frustrating. It's not their fault, of course, it's not, but that doesn't stop it from trying any parent's patience when you're doing ANOTHER load of laundry at 7am every day.
Even if your kid isn't staying dry throughout the day too, it's often the inconvenience of wet sheets that feels like a more pressing matter to parents. Sure, you can take spare clothes in case they have an accident in the daytime, but accidents at night require a more thorough cleanup.
But is there a way to stop it? Well, if you believe some parents, then the dream wee toilet training method might be the answer to your prayers! Let's find out more!

These 7 potty training tips will make the whole potty training stage much more manageable, helping your little one get trained quicker, all while keeping parents calm.

Ever think of how many diapers your baby will use?
While it might not seem like something you need to worry too much about, it can help you to budget if you have an estimate about the number of diapers you're going to need. Of course, every child is different, so what I'm about to tell you might vary.
I found some pretty comprehensive information, though, because I was interested in the answer myself. Read more to find out just how many diapers your little one will use!
Parenting is pretty much an endless cycle of trying to remember things, forgetting those things, remembering them and swearing to write them down some place, and then forgetting to do that.
Don't worry, that's perfectly normal, but new parents can often feel like they're chasing their tails trying to remember everything there is to do, and this is especially true when your little one starts potty training.
So, to make things easier, this post will give you a simple, easy to follow checklist with everything you need to bring with you when leaving the house whilst your kid is potty training. Click here to read more!
Diapers (also called nappies) are a necessary part of children growing up. It's essential to use them, and you can prepare for whenever they have an accident. Of course, changing a diaper is a part of parental life, too, so we don't want to get rid of them for good.
However, there are plenty of parents who don't want to use disposable diapers, and thankfully, there are plenty of alternatives out there for you! This post will help you find out what those alternatives are.
If you have a child with special needs, then you know that toilet training can feel a little challenging. Often it isn't the case that your child is struggling with toilet training itself, but instead you worry about the facilities that are available while you're out living your daily lives.
If your child doesn't have a toilet seat immediately available that allows them to use the toilet effectively, be it because the toilet seats you find on most toilets simply aren't safe for your child or because they aren't comfortable for your child, then it can be easy as parents to simply put your child in a diaper while you're out, so any accidents don't affect the day you're having.
However, there are other things you can do instead, and one of the best things you can do is look out for special needs toilet training seats that can support your child with their toilet training. Want to find out more? Then read more here!
