My 2 year old showed no signs but i bought a little potty anyway and keep it in the corner of the living room as it is clean and has never been used. As she took interest in it, I talked to her about what it is and what it is for and now after a few weeks of it sitting around she is talking to me about doing a wee ...

I’m so upset, I broke a tooth and now I just know they’re going to tell me I need a root canal or a crown or something. I’m so anxious at the dentist as it is and I’m considered high risk this pregnancy. Anyone else had experience getting dental work around 30weeks 😭 I need to hear positive things.

My daughter is almost 3 years old and she doesnt want to use the bathroom. She shows all the signs for potty training but refuses to use the bathroom. She will hold it until she gets the pull up at nap time if she has too. It's very frustrating.

I really am at my wits end with my little girl doing poo’s. She’s had bowel issues for as long as I can remember and the doctor prescribed laxatives, we’ve been on and off these for the past 18 months & in the last 6 months we seem to have got into such a good routine with them. We’re also potty training and she’s ...

My daughter is 3 in October, she’s been potty trained a few months but is not capable of going independently; since she’s returned to nursery she’s come home twice with poo in her underwear, this doesn’t happen at home or anywhere else. I feel cross because I have no idea how long she’s been like this and she could ...

Hi! My 28month old started potty training at 25 months and initially did very well, being virtually accident free after 2 weeks. Soon after, he was dry at nap times as well, so we ditched the nap nappies too. After about a month, he started dribbling urine sometimes during the day and having some nap accidents and c...

My once very calm and happy baby who barely cried has now turned in to a nightmare. He’s almost 11 months and seems to be teething but like extreme. He has 4 at the top and 2.5 at the bottom and he’s not been like this for any of the others. I can’t see any obvious signs of any new teeth emerging either. He is drool...

Hello! Just wondering what everyone’s stance is on letting other people kiss your baby?!

No friends have tried to kiss her haha but it’s a boundary we’ve set with…

My little girl is 2 months old, is this too young to be teething? She's been really unsettled, lots of saliva, hands in mouth, tongue in and out and chopping on teething toys when put to mouth. She's been screaming in pain. She's due her vaccinations tomorrow too 🙈😥

I’m looking for some fun potty training tips , My son is 3 years old and he’s still not fully using the toilet.

This is my beautiful girl, Athena. If you noticed, one of her front teeth is darker than the rest. She had a little fall last week, fell on her tooth and it has been slowly changing to this color. I am all kinds of worried, especially if they have to remove it. Mom guilt is the worst. The poor kid already lost a fin...

How do you get your lg to use the public toilets? I completely cover the seat with toilet roll when I go, what on earth do I do that if she’s desperate?

Does anyone have any tips for getting them to poo on the potty? Weeing is fine, and he’ll sit on the potty to try an poo but I think he might be nervous! We’ve tried blowing bubbles as well while on there

For the last 3 days, our LG has been inconsolable in the mornings. I’m talking 40 minute + meltdowns over absolutely anything and everything. She’s cries when we brush her teeth too. As soon as she gets to nursery however, she’s completely fine and apparently has the best day. She’s like her usual, happy self at hom...
