So my son has been having more wet diapers then dirty. The other day we had to use a thermometer to get my son to loose his stool and tonight I was scared to do it. He has been able to poop on his own. I've been doing bicycle kicks and rubbing his stomach. What else should I do

Mommas! My son who is almost 2 near the end of October and he puts EVERYTHING in his mouth. Paper, corner foam pieces, toys, teethers, parts of his clothes. Is this just a teething issue that we’re seeing or does anyone have any advice to help him NOT put everything in his mouth. Picture for references.

Hello! My son seems to be teething (he has 8 teeth that never caused him an issue coming through) but the past few days he hasn't been himself, he's been more quiet than normal and more slabbery and chewing on everything including biting my finger. Today he woke up and he felt warm to touch (low grade fever) and o...

My three-year-old is about to start preschool in the next week and we still don’t have this potty training thing down so I want to be sure he’s wearing an absorbent pull-up in case he has an accident in the two hours He’s there because if he’s having too many accidents where it’s leaking through his clothes, then th...

Is a My Carry Potty worth it for going out, or do you find it's just better to get a portable seat for an adult public toilet? What do you do? My son uses the potty "for fun" on his own every night before bathing, but tomorrow we start proper at-home potty training and saying goodbye to nappies. Any other recommen...

Hi lovelies, My little boy is 15 weeks and teething. He’s been spending most of his waking hours in discomfort and it’s killing me to see him in pain. I’ve been giving him calpol regularly most days but don’t know if I’m meant to be. Is there such a thing of giving too much calpol? Any other advice appreciated…
