My baby’s 2 bottom teeth have erupted and baby is so fussy 😩 he doesn’t last long with the teething toys we have for him. Any ideas??

Is it possible for a baby to teeth at 11 weeks? He had manic cry episodes for about 2 days straight if he wasn’t sleeping he was manically crying.

It's a battle every time we have to give her calpol, she fights and screams so we have to almost hold her down and force the syringe into her mouth :( it's awful and I feel so guilty every time. Does anyone else's LO react the same way? At 9 months old, how else can I give it to her? I'm worried about trying to give...

Just a quick question but how do you potty train a toddler with autism? He is 2 and a half. Has no communication with us and isn't aware of himself going in his nappy so I'm not sure how we're supposed to teach him to use a potty if he doesn't know he's doing it. Is he just not ready yet?

So basically I was away for 5 weeks abroad at a family home and potty trained my son and the last 2 weeks he was really good, minimal to no accidents but we got back on Friday last week and since then he has regressed, it’s like he’s forgotten how to do it.. having a lot of accide...

I started toilet training my son at the beginning of summer holidays, I keep asking him every 10-15 mins and I keep taking him and puttin him on the potty and sometimes he’ll do a wee, other times he’ll sit there and nothing.

10 month old has cut two bottom teeth. Is it normal for them to be way more clingy… not eating and drinking as much as usual , and not napping as great as before will this go back to normal ?

My son is now 3 years old and has been doing wees on the toilet now for about 8 months however, will refuse to do a poo. He asks for a nappy and gets very upset when we try and persuade him to use the toilet. We have tried everything and have now run out of ideas. Does anyone have any tips please?

Taking a week off next week to toilet train my twins. I'm ditching the nappies and was planning on just doing that at night straight away too (fully prepared for accidents) but I've read a few places that they should still have a nappy on at night until they're relative confident at going to the toilet through the d...

Hello, 1 week into potty training we’ve averaged at 2 accidents a day. Taken my daughter out today and she’s had an accident. She’s both weed and pooed in her knickers. She’s yet to have a poo on the potty just feeling a bit exhausted by the whole process. Feel like I’ve spent the whole week on wee watch. Is she jus...

Any tips of how to potty train my little girl? Shes 21months and shows no signs or interest in the potty but I would love to start trying to get rid of the nappies

My little boy just cut his first tooth and I think the second one is coming soon too. He's struggling a lot with excess saliva and he's swallowing hard. It makes me so worried, especially when he's asleep, that he'll choke on his saliva 😭 Has anyone experienced the same thing? He's just done it right after waking…

I’m starting to think about potty training now but she’s now at preschool two days a week, I’m just wondering if anyone has or is doing it while their child goes to preschool how are they doing it?

I need help 😫 Two months ago my son stopped pooping in the toilet. Now, he will just hold it or will crap his pants. Idk what to do at this point. Has it happened to anyone or any advice.

So my son turned 3 on 13th august, been toilet trained since July and has just started pre school however he refuses to go to the toilet by himself? Which now means he can only do half days in pre school as he just holds it in until I pick him up. He always asks me to do it (hold his pp down) and just won’t even try...
