Does your baby have high body temperature when teething?

My baby’s temperature is 38-39 since yesterday. I took her to GP and they checked her throat, ears and nose and also listened to her and said everything looks ok. She is also fine in herself and behaves as usual. Can it be teething?

Toilet/potty

I know there has been so many posts on here already about potty and/or toilet training but here’s another 🤣. So I had no plans to really start until we come back from our holiday in October because most people I know say to wait until around 2.5 and it makes the whole process much easier. However, over the past…

Allergic reaction?

We just got a puppy on Tuesday and my little boy has came out in this rash, I’m not sure if he’s allergic but nothing else has changed, he isn’t teething and we use the same everything that we have previously. What do I do if he is allergic?

Great with wees but poos his pants 🙈

We have been potty training my 2.5 year old boy for about 3.5 weeks. we went cold Turkey onto pants ( other than nap and bedtime). With wees he was amazing - got it on day 2 and we have had barely any accidents. He will tell us if he needs to go. Poos is another story. He will wait for us to leave the room or hide a...

Potty training

Can anyone suggest a good way of potty training a non verbal 3 year old? He’s never done a wee or anything on the toilet despite me sitting him on it all the time. Should I just go straight in with Pants? I’m not even sure he knows what the toilet is for at this point. Should I leave potty training? Or persevere?

Proud Mummy post

Might sound like a stupid question - How do I inform my child’s nursery that she is potty trained

Should I write an email prior to her return, and inform them she prefers potty on toilet etc and I will pack pants etc How did you approach this? Thank you

Teething?

How would I know if my daughter is teething? She’s been sucking on her fist for a couple of days now and drooling so much her whole fist will be wet. She was crying a lot today and we couldn’t figure out what it could be. Wondering if it’s too soon? She just turned 2 months.

Potty training

Has anyone started potty training yet? My baby boy is showing readiness signs I think. He tells me when he has pooped and I’ve been having problems with him taking his diaper off and grabbing wipes and wiping his front end. He will also say poop even if it’s pee but after one pee in the diaper will want it changed. ...

Sh*t In The Vent!!!

I’m at my wits end today. My toilet training daughter, she had a poop accident in her underwear, then pulled it out, rubbed it on the walls and dropped it in the floor vent in her bedroom. WTF?!?!?!
