Daughter is 3 months and has been scream crying all day on and off. She does also have a cold so could be related to that but does this look like her teeth are coming in? Chewing on her hands, sucking in her lips and chomping down on my nipples after feeds. Thanks!

Anyone one else’s nearly 3 year old never been to the potty… my little boy literally refuses to sit on the toilet or potty even tho he’s very clever and aware that’s were he should be going… he physically just wants nappies on and to this day never weed/pooed in anything else. i don't even no how to tackle this is...

My toddler still can't recognise the need for a pee. He starts peeing through his pants then says oh no and I say 'right to the toilet' and he does the rest on there. Is this normal at this stage? Also how can I get him to realise when he has to pee and tell me? I've tried telling him when he has a funny feeling in ...

My daughter has been doing amazing with wee for potty training after a rocky start. I’m really struggling with poo, she is reluctant to poo in her nappy and completely refuses to poo on the toilet or potty. It’s so bad to the point we are on 2 movicol sachets a day and she still holds it in! It’s not unusual for h...

Initially we were hoping to start once he could walk however the past few weeks have been a nightmare for getting lo dressed and changed. I'm having to either chase him or kinda pin him down if it's a poop, as even distractions arent working. I'm wondering if it's worth introducing it, as he does like to be quite in...

Which is better Ashton and parsons teething crystals or gel? Or can anyone recommend any other teething medication please?

Hi! Can anyone recommend any potties you have used or intend on using? There’s so many choices! And what do you do if you are out and about? Thanks :)

Baby is 6 months old and no teeth yet but is this the start of teeth? Been teething symptoms for months!

I was told by my midwife 18 months is the new recommended age per NHS advice to potty train. My little girl has been crawling to the same place and does a poo 😅 is this a sign? She doesn’t walk yet!!

Have you started potty training yet? Baby just turned 2 and we are expecting another baby in Winter. Dunno if this a good time to start or just wait until baby is here and wait for that transition. Were not in a rush honestly.

Is it hard for a lot of women at 16 weeks or more to squat or bend down to pick something up? I am having that issue and it’s difficult at my job sometimes. Tips? Advice?

My 14 month old started spitting out meds after a recent viral infection and her pediatrician wants her to take childrens zyrtek for 2 weeks but she cries & spits out anything I give her in an oral syringe. Any suggestions. Please don’t say blow in her face- tried it & it just traumatized her and she still spit out ...

Hi all, my little boy is 9 weeks old and is chewing has hands all the time since about 5 days ago.

Any tips for cleaning baby’s teeth? I’m probably getting about 5 seconds on the top ones and 5 on the bottom ones before he’s had enough.

My son doesnt like wearing diapers now and somehow he is just opening diapers and throwing it away and roaming around without it. And he throws tantrum if we try to make him wear diaper. Dont know what should i do?

Looking for some advice! We’ve been potty training our 20 month old daughter for about 1.5/2 months now. In the beginning she was great but for some reason she always wees in the car seat and I’m at a loss on how to get her to stop. She’s always offered the toilet before we go out, she can even do a wee, but 15 min...

I’ve always had a weak bladder I guess. But recently it’s been worse like I’ve found I’m needing to go nearly every 20 minutes and I know it is bad but I find myself holding it in so it doesn’t affect my work. Does anyone else know how to stop this or anyone in the same boat.

Hey everyone. Parenthood has been amazing thus far but this whole potty training thing it’s just not for me. I’m having such a hard time with the pooping aspect of it. We have peeing in the toilet down and he will wear his big boy undies all day long and keep them dry. No accidents. He will tell me when he has to go...
