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...

Has anyone else started potty training? My daughter is almost 17 months and she mostly knows when she has to potty and I know her queues for the most part. We have tried the little toilet and she just looks uncomfortable on it and almost immediately tries to get off of it. She has only ever actually went on the big ...

Has anyone started or even thought of potty training yet? My due with my second baby in December and I’m contemplating potty training before the new baby comes.

Day 2. I just do t think it’s going well. Out of 2 days she’s had 1 wee on the potty. We are bare waist down and promoting every 25-30mins as that’s how often she was weeing on day1. Should I give up and wait. She’s not making any connection to the potty & weeing. She is very stubborn so nothing tempts her to go o...

I have just been told I have to have a crown and it will cost £700! I can have this free on NHS but it would be metal!!! Anyone else ? What are my options? Can I pay with klarna lol? Can’t afford it right now but I’m in pain

My lg is a bit constipated since we started weening. She drinks a lot of water and has fruit to get things going but doctors think her muscle in her bum isnt strong enough to get it out. Anyway, the only way she can poop very well is when she is in a sitting position so i bought a potty. Anyone got tips on how to s...

We've just started potty training today and using oh crap as a guide. For those that know it you'll know they're against rewarding but I'm now wondering if it might help. What have others found?

My little boys teeth have just pushed through his gum, and all of a sudden we’re crying constantly, and just really unhappy, he’s been fine until now hardly any teething pains. Any tips?? I thought the pain stopped one’s they’d cut the gums😭😭

We are potty training my 3 year old at the moment. He’s doing really well and runs to the toilet when he needs a poo and wee. Happily does all that and has been bare bummed when at home. Trouble is when we try to put pants on he will wee or poo in them like they are nappies. He’s back at nursery in a few weeks and r...

Does this look normal for his top teeth coming in? He doesn’t seem too bothered by it, but it looks very sore and didn’t look like this when his bottom teeth came through. Although I know the top teeth are bigger, so more likely to be a bit more painful! They look like ulcers

My 15 month old constantly puts everything in his mouth not sure if it’s a texture thing or a teething thing is this normal ?

How many days from a complete change in behaviour (Velcro baby, severely disturbed sleep, so unhappy, constant mouthing) did it take for thr forst tooth to appear?

Is anyone else potty training? If so I need advice. My daughter has been showing a lot of interest in the bathroom for months now. But when I started potty training today she has cried every time I’ve put her on the toilet today. I don’t know if I should keep going or if this is normal?

My little girl who is 2 now I been trying potty training she showing signs but no luck on it yet been a couple weeks since started but everyone keeps trying tell me she should be trained by now I'm just curious if she's far behind and if anyone has potty training tips to help

My son keeps taking his penis out his diaper then walking around with it out. What do I do 😅 we use pull ups because the tab diapers just fall off him atp.

My 2 year old decided today she didn’t want to use the potty anymore, she told me she needed to wee but cried and threw her potty, I couldn’t work out what was wrong so asked if she’d like to use the grown ups toilet and she said yes and has been using it for every wee/poo since. What seats/steps does everyone rec...

Hey, sorry I know there are so many potty training posts. We have just started this week to potty train and I'm getting a bit concerned really. My little girl in some ways seems ready but not others. The biggest issue is I don't think she really understands when she is weeing/about to wee. Guess I'm just wondering i...

When am I supposed to bring my daughter to her first dentist appointment? I looked it up online and it says within the first 6 months. She is 5.5 months old now with 2 bottom teeth. Seems very early but I want to do what’s best for her.

My girl turned 2 in may and I really want to get get her potty trained. She show’s/ tells me all signs when she having a poo and when her nappy is too full.

Hey everyone I was if anyone else has started potty training yet? My girl had hand, foot and mouth which gave her spots on her places like her bum so we decided to put a towel down and sleep with no nappy… I was surprised to see she didn’t wee the bed and used the potty in the morning. Seeing how she would do with ...
