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...

The past week or so my baby has been wetting through every single nappy! I’ve always changed his nappy before a bottle, unless he’s done a poo and then I change it when he’s done it. We’ve been using aldi nappies since he was born but recently changed to size 5, they were fine for a while but now he leaks through t...

Top pic is last week and bottom pic is today My poor little girl has been so unhappy the last week or so and has had the most horrendous poos the whole time!! She’s an absolute dribble monster and biting down so hard on her hands and toys! I had a look this morning at her gums and they look sore but I’m a FTM and h...

I want to start potty training, however, as it is getting quite cold now here in the UK, my son keeps taking his duvet off, even today he kept waking up, and when I checked on his his cheeks and hands/feet were quite cold. Should I get him a sleeping bag, how would it work out with potty training?

My toddler will pee on the potty every time she needs to but when it comes to pooping she won’t she holds it. What can I do to help her I’ve tried giving her big prizes when she does but she still holds it

My LO is 2 and I’m thinking about starting potty training, but I just wondered how others have handled being out and about or going to classes etc in the early stages? Is it just a case of trying to make sure they’ve gone to the toilet before going in? She can’t yet tell me when she’s going to wee, and will only tel...

My cat but my toddler pretty bad about 2 hours ago. The bleeding has stopped but it looked so bad before. I thought I would have to bring to the hospital but my nurse friend said to wash it really well With baby soap, pat dry, put triple antibiotic ointment and a large bandage. Which I just finished doing but she sa...

My son will be 3 in November and last weekend we started potty training. However he seems so stressed out about the process. When he needs a wee he gets himself all uptight, holds it for as long as possible and then doesn’t want to sit on the potty. He has only done 1 wee on the potty in 4 days. He is the same at nu...

How many toilet accidents are normal? I have been potty training my little boy for just over a month. He took to it really quickly, but I'm finding on days we stay at home he has accidents. I'm not sure if he gets lazy and can't be bothered to go to the potty as he isn't bothered about wetting himself. Also, it only...

My 3 year old son has just started school nursery full time. He’s been out of nappies for a few months now but since starting nursery has been having poo and wee accidents every day. Does anyone have any advice for getting him to go to the toilet at nursery? Thanks in advance!!

Hello everyone, I'm feeling overwhelmed with potty training my 2.7 month old (yes, I might have left too late. Only know telling me once she has pooped or peed) Can anyone share good tips that have worked. Tried sitting on potty, but then she refused. Tried placing knickers under nappy but just gets panicked. Help ...

When I first started giving thought to potty training (disclaimer: I know nothing), the first thing I did was ask my relatives, and the second thing I did was research potty training methods around the world. This is one of the articles I came up with, and I wanted to share it because I found it super interesting ...

I know this is a BD chat but i need help from all of you mothers with a situation that’s happening. So my SD is 3 and her mother said my SD has a UTI because she is being potty trained but we have never had issues with her potty training like that. We constantly ask her if she needs to potty and she does go but she ...

If y’all haven’t started early potty training yet I HIGHLY recommend. It’s better to potty train than to diaper train and to struggle getting them to go on a toilet at 2-3. Babies are way smarter than we give them credit for and are fast learners. I started my son at 6 weeks old and now he does every poop in the pot...

idk if i should be concerned, my son doesn’t really play he just puts everything in his mouth. i’m trying to get him to put rings on a stacker, shake his shakers, etc. and he just chews on everything. is this normal or should i be concerned? i’m worried he might have pica or something

My little one is taking well to potty training. When did your child/ren transition to using the toilet. At nursery he does not like using the toddler toilets What can I do to help and support him? .

I have 2 year old boy/girl twins. I am currently starting to potty train my daughter, we have her in underwear but when she pees herself it doesn’t bother her. Does anyone have any tips ? She does know the word/sign for potty. She just doesn’t know how to communicate it when she needs to go. TYIA!

My son is currently teething and it’s making him miserable.. I’m giving him a feeder with frozen BM and Ashton and parsons as he’s 4 months! He’s in pain but hates calpol- not sure if it’s the texture taste or both 🤷🏻‍♀️ any advice on what else I can try?

I’ve completely messed it up. I’ve stopped and started multiple times and worst of all I’ve got stressed many times causing extreme meltdowns in my toddler. We tried again today and she is withholding pee and poo and won’t even sit on the potty it makes her too anxious. I know I’ve messed this up but I don’t know ...
