My baby has a rash, no temperature but she’s super cuddly and tired all the time right now, she’s 6months and is teething. Should I be concerned ?

I am planning on potty training my son the week after his second birthday in October. Am I asking him to wipe himself or am I doing it for him? When do they start cleaning themselves if not immediately? Thanks so much!

Advice really…So my LO is showing ALL the signs and readiness to start potty training… and we’ve been delaying because everything I’m reading/looking (Inc Oh Crap method) says you need at least 4/5 days at home… how do people do it with work etc??!

Twin girl Mumma, twin 1 she has got a third bottom tooth it’s just appeared she hasn’t even got her tops yet, is that normal? It’s just taken me by surprise as I thought the two top come before the other bottom teeth. Has anyone experienced this

Any tips on how to get me 2.5 year old to not be so scared of the potty?? 🤦🏽‍♀️ Even mentioning it she runs away in fear n but she’s so ready, always tells me when she’s going and wants to be changed immediately but just won’t use the potty or toilet. Thanks!

I need help? Advice? I don't know In my partners office I've found a milk container full of pee, he's the only one who really goes in there...and the only one able to pee into a milk container.....but why? Our bathroom is 4 steps away from the office. 4 steps. 4 entire steps. Why would you pee into a MILK conta...

When should I worry about this ? He will pee only 3 times a day…

Feel so shit. First time using dentinox and I managed to get some in her eyes when rinsing. The eye looks irritated but seems to be going down. What's the best thing to do? And is there alternatives for cradle cap cause I don't think ikl be using jt again

My son has been at pre school for 2 weeks now and he’s been saying more and more that his nappy needs changing when he’s done a big wee or poo. We’ve had a potty for ages now and he’s never shown interest in fact he’s been afraid to sit on it. But just now he said “need wee wee, potty mummy” so I got the potty to...

My son has some oral sensory, and keeps destroying his toothbrushes by biting them. The bristles last maybe 3 days. We have an electric, but he doesn't like it. Thoughts?

Does this look normal? It looks worse on the photo because of the shadow!

For the past two weeks my three year old has been stopping herself from pooing properly. We had cracked potty training and she was using the potty for poo but she was constipated one day and now when she has the urge will stop herself from going completely. It’s getting very frustrating. We are trying all different ...

It’s a bit of a disaster so far. Please share how your first day went?

My 16 month old is getting his molars and is veryyyy cranky these days. He also got a fever due to changing weather and is more irritable. He has recovered from the fever but not eating properly. I never had an issue with feeding him various foods but since 3 days he has not been eating proper and my stress levels a...

My son (3) won’t wear his pants. He can use the toilet for wees and did wear his pants for a few outings a while ago but now won’t wear them no matter what I do. I asked him today if there’s something worrying him and he said I’m not a grown up yet I’m still a little boy. It broke my heart, I think maybe because I’v...

My daughter started Pre School this week. This is her first time away from me and surprisingly she has settled in so well - so much better than we thought! She’s been toilet trained day and night for well over a year with no accidents for months!!! I was so surprised when I picked up her one day from Pre School wi...

Anyone else’s little still in nappies during the day? We’ve mastered for a little while doing wees in a potty/toilet if we’re round the house as long as there is nothing on her bottoms. But she’s just not ready for the next step. The minute I put pants or shorts on her she’ll wee in them. And haven’t cracked poos at...

I've been trying to potty train my girl without much luck but she is now refusing to go toilet at all. She is having tantrums saying 'no I don't want to potty train' so it's become a fight to put her on the toilet. And I feel that I should not be forcing her? But at the same time she's a big / tall 3 year old, it's ...

My almost 3.5 year old daughter is doing fine peeing on the potty, but when she has to poop she seems to hold it until the end of the day when she has a pull up on for bedtime. I need advice on how to transition her off the pull ups and encouraging pooping in the potty. I was told it’s kind of normal for 3 year olds...

Hi mamas!! Looking for some advice. We started potty training not long after my daughter turned two (end of February). She was very close to being fully potty trained by April when she got sick. Strep throat, the flu, and a double ear infection at the same time. It was awful she was almost hospitalized. This halted ...
