Any tips? I change his diaper and he immediately goes again. He’s 4 weeks old. Normal? Or can u do anything to save a diaper or two in one session? How to make him go before a diaper change? Thanks. First time mom.

My baby is teething and is more needy/wants attention, I prefer going out at times like this so he is a bit more distracted with other things and so I don't feel guilty not giving him enough attention etc. I wanted to attend a baby group but as he is a little snotty (due to the teething) is it bad to bring him to a...

Hi, my LB is cutting 4 teeth at once 😩 also ill from nursery and in a sleep regression it’s been a fun few days 😂 Has anyone used this teething powder before I have always used gel but it does not seem to be giving him the same relief as before. Just want to know if it’s helped others? Thanks

Helloo, So I think it’s safe to say we all have 1 year olds by now.. those of you who have had other babies how did you potty train?? And when did you guys start?? My 13 month old is taking off his diaper multiple times through out the day and pooping on the floor 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I don’t even know how to start is it too…

For the past few weeks, my baby has really been struggling with teething - he’s been putting his fingers in his mouth loads, drooling, waking up crying in pain and just generally being fussy. The past week or so things have really stepped up a notch, he’s more fussy and he’s got a little rash on his chin from all th...

my 8 week old for the last few weeks has been drooling so much and eating her hands. is she teething or is it something else??

Hey all! I’m curious to know, how many diapers your toddler is going through in a day. I definitely feel like it gets full more than 6 changes and she isn’t showing signs of potty training yet. Not sure exactly when that’ll happen. Anyway, she drinks consistently throughout the day so i dont know when it’ll slow down

What's everyone's opinion on time outs? Do they work? I want a form of disciplining my child without resorting to spanking. She's 21 months so Im wondering if thats still too young to do time outs.

Is anyone's baby teething, just wondering if it's normal for them to be snotty and coughing or if it's a cold I've had mixed answers 🤦‍♀️ he's asleep and currently snoring so loud 🤣

At daycare we’ve tried putting our 2.5 years old boy in underwear for the week and sometimes he’ll have accidents pee and poo. Sometimes he says when he needs to go sometimes not. He definitely doesn’t poop in the toilet So I’m wondering do I continue to put underwear and no diaper because he can pee on the potty ...

Hey my little girl is 2 this week, we have had the potty in the livingroom for over a month now. Twice this week she has been doing a poop in her nappy and bringing the potty to me, sitting and saying “poo poo mummy” I’ve been praising her so much for it I think this is her telling me she’s ready to start potty tr...

My boy has been up for 5 hours last night because he's teething, I know he's in a lot of pain but this had been going on for so long. He's getting maybe 6 hrs of broken sleep and I'm getting much less..He just does not know how to deal with teething pain at all. I think this might be molars though I can't see or fe...

My daughter is 2 years old and I'm planning on potty training her next weekend. I know the stuff to get ( potty, potty training pants. Travel potty etc) but I don't know what would be the best way to start? I was thinking: for the 1st week ( rough idea) : Next weekend: nappyless for couple of hours, wearing p...

My sons 3 in November and still in nappies, he starts nursery in January and I’d really like him out of nappies i don’t like the thought of a stranger changing his bum. Is there any tips and tricks on what I can do, he’s not showing any interest but I’d like to introduce him to it, he’s also nonverbal

Does teething cause a baby to go sick

I bought a book but too long and no way I ll ever read it with my 2 under 2. Thanks!

I’ve been trying to introduce the potty since he was 2 but still every time I put him on the potty he screams and arches his back I always try before bathtime and once he wakes in a morning but I feel like I’m causing trauma every time I do it to him I was advised by the health visitor to do this but it’s just makin...

I absolutely hate kissing I think it’s so gross , the saliva exchange and idea of smelling someone’s breath makes me feel sick. It’s awkward because my husband is a kissy person and will want a kiss and I can’t help but pull away. I can tell he gets quite offended

We're picking up our new puppy very soon at 8 weeks old and the breeder said not to let her out in the garden for the first two weeks. Does that sound right? Everywhere I've read says that it's OK for them to be out in gardens, just not outside in areas where other dogs/ wild animals have been. For outside walks we ...
