I think my 16 week old is teething and want to give some calpol to help with it however didn’t know if they had to have a temperature to have calpol. Don’t want to give it when I shouldn’t.

Im a FTM and I dont have a clue how to potty train a boy and everyone who could help me learn all have girls. I also don't know when to start potty training. If anyone could help me that would be amazing 🙏

Hi all I’m wondering what to do hence looking for all your valuable suggestions. We have taken this weekend plus additional 2 days to kick off potty training . But my LO has a music class tomorrow so we will be out for about 1.5 hours approximately. I’m thinking what shall we do - skip the class for this weekend/ ...

My son is 17 months and recently started sticking his hands down his pants any chance he gets. It’s gotten to the point where he has started to do it in his sleep, and his penis will then stick up and he will be drenched in his own pee. I’ve had to do laundry every day this week to wash his bedding. I’ve resorted ...

We have one bathroom in the house. My little girl is a confident walker now and loves climbing. I'm wondering if I should skip the potty and try those toilet ladders for her to sit on? Has anyone tried it?

Can you give teething granules and Calpol at the same time? my baby is very unsettled today and is non-stop aggressively chewing his hands

How can I stop this bit hurting my daughters feet? I cannot let £30 go to waste, she’s worn it ONCE! 🥹. Please help!!

When did y’all start potty training?

We have started potting training My almost 2.5 year old about a week ago without much success. We are doing underwear only during the day and diapers to sleep. I bought a potty and potty training chart with stickers as rewards. I even bought a watch for her to wear that has a timer and sings every time is time to go...

I introduced the potty when she was 11 months old. "Just got fun" and no pressure. So she learned pretty quickly what it was for. She knows that pee and poo goes in there. But she grew to be a busy toddler and didn't wanna be bothered enough to sit so we stopped. Today I took the diapers away and had her run bare ...

Hi All, My 2.5 year old almost 3 is not 100% potty trained yet. So when we’re out and about I take her to a disabled or female toilet and let her go (of course tissue on seat and wiping down prior. BUT I am so sick of seeing how disgusting these public toilets are whether in parks, restaurants or coffee shops. It ...

So, my five year old boy is nearly fully potty trained. It took us until recently to accomplish this due to him being a little delayed cognitively and speech-wise, but he's there and I'm super proud. The only consistent issue we are having at this point is how to teach him to wipe correctly after pooping. He doesn't...

Little one is 8 months old and no teeth yet so not 100% sure. Last few days she’s been really dribbly and blowing lots of raspberries. She’s had a little rash appear on her cheek (she does suffer with eczema but it’s been clear for a few months now), she’s also started having a few more soiled nappies and a sore bum...

My 4 month old shows all signs of teething. Except for swollen gums because I haven’t checked that. How would I even know if they are swollen. When do I buy pain relief for teething I don’t wanna buy it and then he doesn’t need it but he seems a lot more fussy and irritable lately. Is that pain?

Whenever I floss, my gums bleed a lot but not when I brush my teeth. I was at the dentist today and run it by him and he said it's because I'm pregnant.. wondered if anyone else has this? He said it's so important I keep flossing but it's quite unpleasant and really makes me not want to floss! Thanks in advance

My little girl has currently got her front two bottom teeth coming through and she's also weaning as of two weeks ago The last week or so, she's been pooing a lot more, twice per day and some of them have mucus in which I know is to do with teething. Today she pooed first thing this morning, during her breakfast an...

Hi, my daughter is 3 next week and we've been without daytime nappies for about 5 weeks now. However, it still seems she doesn't know when she needs to go to the toilet?? And will never take herself. We have had days without any wee accidents but it's very reliant on us making sure she regularly uses the toilet. Po...

My little girl has starting showing interest in the potty and I’m not completly sure if she’s ready to potty train yet or not. She will let me know when she has gone potty in her diaper and bring me a new one so I can change her. I have started bringing her into the bathroom with me when I go. And she will squat dow...
