So it's time for my two kiddos to see the dentist. 🦷 The only problem is I see they have changed it where parents can't be in the back with their child when they turn 3 and 4 .... my oldest son has a speech delay and behavior problems, so does anyone know a dentist's office that allows you to go back and also in…

My son 21 months has recently started constantly putting his hand down his pants im his diaper. Not a huge deal most of the time but there’s been 3 times that his hand comes out holding his poop!!! So gross!! Anyone else has a kid do this? How did you stop it? I redirect when he does it but I can’t always stop him a...

How does anyone manage this??? My boy just cries and screams. Worried he’ll have black milk teeth haha😫😫

Lookig for dentist recommendations for Plymouth, not bothered if it’s private or NHS. My boy doesn’t have teeth yet but I want to get him registered for when he does.

I'm feeling so defeated I'm in tears. My son will be 3 next month and he doesn't want to go on the potty. We've gotten him used to sitting on it. Sometimes when I ask him if he needs to go potty he'll shake his head no but then he won't tell me when he needs to go. I've been sitting him on the potty after his meal...

Have you started potty training yet? My son is showing signs that he may be ready but I have zero idea how to start. I have a potty training seat and the portable seat

How many accidents is 'normal' on first few days potty training? Also. How often should you encourage your wee one to use toilet?

My LO is only 10 weeks old but the past week has been horrendous for fussiness but other than that she’s dribbling copious amounts, biting toys, chewing on her tongue and fists. Could she really be teething? This is what her bottom gums look like and idk if I’m going crazy or can I see her two bottom teeth?

Has anyone started potty training yet? If so how have you started? Not really sure how to make a start.

Where do I start? My daughter is showing an interest and saying "mama potty" when I go but my husband refuses to do the 3 day no pants weekend so now I have to start research over. I think she's ready so now what??

I’ve tried almost everything singing a song introducing it during play or bath time yes he’ll chew on it but that’s it he’ll get his bottom teeth but that’s it. I then have to intervene and forcibly brush them because he’ll fight tooth and nail. Literally… I don’t want a negative correlation with brushing but lookin...

For boys how do you know they're ready?

How often are you giving your 4 month old the teething powder? It says half a sachet morning and night but you can give extra doses if needed. I feel like the effects don’t last too long but don’t want to give too much

Is anyone else having the same struggle. We potty trained our 3 year old just a couple days before her 3rd Birthday and she did really well but she keeps pooing in her pants and wont poo on the toilet/potty. I know poos can take longer so not too worried and just hoping we get there soon.

We have an almost 15 month old boy. We are starting to think about potty training. He goes pee on the toilet before he has a bath. He's dine it 4 out of 5 times this week so far. The only time he didn't is because he peed right before bath time. What are some tips and tricks to help boys potty train. Also, how to ...

Is anybody else struggling with this? 😂 She won’t keep her socks on and won’t keep her legs in her foot muff! Any suggestions other than trousers with footies included? 🤦‍♀️😂

When did you take your toddlers to the dentist for the first time?

My LO has been super grumpy for the past few days and has been having crying crisis as if he’s in incontrollable pain. He’s got teething signs and has episodic diarrhea. In give him calpol and nurofen and switch. When he’s in crying / pain crisis that come and go what do you do? There is nothing I can do that will c...

My LO almost 3 is 70% potty trained, we’re all good with wees and being outside and informing me when she needs to go. BUT we can’t shift doing poos in her pull ups. My LO always hates pooing on her potty or adult toilet. Even if I tell her no pull ups she’ll hold in her poo and I don’t want her constipated. So I g...

My little girl is almost 3, she has shown signs of being ready for the toilet for months but still isn't there. I have tried everything I can think of but she is so stubborn when it comes to weeing on the toilet, she has asked to sit on the toilet /potty we have had all different types of seats and pottys but nothin...
