My boy is showing signs that he’s ready but I don’t know how to even begin! Help! 😩

i’ve been told once baby starts taking diaper off they’re ready to potty train? how true is this. i feel like he’s not old enough to start but 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey girls, My little boy has had hands in mouth, dribbling and seems in such discomfort the past few days and I think he may be teething. I know we can’t give him anbesol or bonjella until 5&6 months so I’m wondering if there are any ideas on what I can do to help him please. I have the giraffe teething toy and thi...

Every time I take my baby’s nappy off she runs off in the corner to do a wee on the floor or a poo. She will literally bend down and say wee wee. Is this a sign to start potty training? Tia x

We started today and my question is how to deal with nights?! What do you do? Do you have to wake them up? It fills me with dread as he is already such a bad sleeper the thought of waking him up 😥

Is it possible for an 8 week old to start teething? It looks like you can see the teeth through his gums if that makes sense? He’s very irritated and he’s normally a very relaxed and chilled out baby? Any advice please?

My LO has cut both bottom from teeth, but is super whingey the past two days and putting anything possible on her gums on the one bottom side. Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure if she’s just confused as to where the pain is coming from or if she’s in genuine pain on that side and cutting a tooth there? Didn...

My daughters top left but right in the photo has this white discoloration. She is 11months, it started since it came in - it just gets more prominent as the rest of the tooth comes in. We only use water to brush teeth right now. Should I be worried? Should I go to the dentist? Is it worth going to the dentist at...

My sons terrified of the little seats that go on the toilet. I don’t know how to help him feel safe on it or how to start the whole potty training thing. We just found out we’re expecting our second baby so I was hoping to train my boy before the bump appears.

Mommas, I am in the trenches with my sons teething!!! He’s 13 months and has 4 upper teeth and 2 lower teeth. Those teeth came in like he didn’t even notice but these past few days he has been screaming in pain. He does not like teethers and never took to binkies. He doesn’t like cold washcloths. I have Camilia dr...

Is anyone else struggling with potty training? My LB will happily do all his poos and wees on the toilet or the potty if he doesn’t have pants on but as soon as I put him in the pants he either takes them off he will just go to the toilet in them OR he will sit on the potty with his pants on and go but not pull them...

I need some adult dental advice and I don’t know where else to turn 😫

My little boy is 5 months old. The past 3/4 days he’s been very sleepy in the day. When he’s awake he will play to an extent. He’s drinking his normal amount of milk and he has plenty of wet nappies etc. I was thinking maybe he is teething and maybe that’s why he’s so sleepy - he can barely keep his eyes open after ...

Are people starting to think about potty training now we’re creeping up to our babies second birthdays? Or far to early? Or has anyone done and completed already?

I was being pretty lax with potty training cus I was a little nervous it would be a lot 😅 but after reading the book oh crap potty training, I felt confident on what to do, and wow! It really only took three maybe four days and my son was peeing on the potty by himself even when I wasn’t around. He was scared of…

Not looking to start just yet, but for those who have, which potty training toilet did you buy? If you have started, which ones worked and which didn't? Also, any tips?

Hi! My little girl has had a very pink cheek for a while now. Do you ladies know why one cheek is very pink and the other isn't? Her temperature is normal, and it doesn't seem to bother her.

Probably a stupid question but I’m clueless. What happens when you need the toilet and you’ve had an epidural?

Anyone else go from needing a wee to bursting so much quicker now 😭

Am I in the wrong if I stop my little one going to there Dada when they are teething? So basically last weekend the BD said I front of me and his parents that when LO is teething he is not giving him any pain relief ( teething gel, powder, calpol, etc) as he doesn't believe in them and doesn't want him to get addic...
