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 ...

Anyone know if calpol or nurofen is most effective for teething pains? Waking up as soon as his calpol wears off, bless him. 2 juicy molars coming through at the same time. Never really had to use nurofen previously

i just accidentally kissed my baby on the forehead… forgetting i have a cold sore coming in. what do i do?!

We seem to have mastered peeing fine however LO isn’t pooing, she went 5 days without one and it was awful (eventually did it in a nappy before bed), we’re again on day 3 without a no.2. Using stool softener to help. Any tips at all?

So I think my little girl might be teething however she’s not dribbly at all? She will not let me have a look at her teeth so it’s hard to tell but from what I can feel I believe it’s a tooth coming.

So my daughter seems ready for toilet training she knows when she's weeing and pooing now and has done some wee wees on the big girl toilet! I sent her in nursery in her knickers and she went on the toilet for a wee and had 1 accident the same the next day and then yesterday also! We then went to MIL and she had ...

I hateeeeed nappy pants if my boy had done a loose poo because I’d try and navigate them down his legs without getting poo all on his legs. I have just seen you’re supposed to rip the sides and treat it like a nappy! 🤣 Thought I’d share to show most of us are just winging it 🤣

How did it go any advice, my little one hates nappy changes, wheni say hate I'm really not exaggerating. In the morning he goes on the potty because I put him there and always has a wee. What did you do for the rest of the day? Leave nappy free? If you have started how's it going x

So my son turns 2 next month and he's never showed signs to me of getting his diaper changed etc. As a mother I just know and go ahead and do it. He does not say 2 word sentences and he barely says more than a few words that sometimes are very random and not intentional. How can I tell when to potty train him becaus...

My little girl keeps saying "I need the toilet" and when I say "shall we go to the toilet?" she says yes. But once we get to the bathroom she says no no no and gets scared of the toilet. She will sit on it for maybe 30 seconds and do not and then she says "I'm finished" or "all done" having not done anything. Any...

How would I know if baby is teething? Lo has been really fussy at night not wanting to breastfeed and will take a bottle but then refuse it. She will be moaning all the time

Showing no interest but trying g to get him there advice

So my three year is getting potty training and he’s doing good when it comes to peeing. I know the cues for that. It’s the #2 I don’t get. There are times I see him standing there with a pause look on his face or when he is digging at himself but I was too late to take him to the bathroom. What do I do to keep the #...

Any guesses? 🫢💕💙

So my daughter has been taking off her pants and diaper any chance she gets and I’m trying to potty train her but it’s just not working she gets so angry during diaper changes but trying to just sit her on the potty is a whole other battle…I feel like I’ve tried everything I’m just feeling very discouraged especiall...

Hi everyone! I would like to find a dentist in west London who is great with babies as well as adults. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you! ☺️

My LO has been potty trained since the beginning of summer and took to it really quickly with both wee and poo on the potty. Hes stopped wearing a nappy at night and wakes up dry every time. However, the last week/ 2 weeks hes been struggling to poo on the potty and keeps having accidents. This is also accompanied w...
