Community Posts, Tips & Support on Child Development

My child is due to start Pre-school in September. It's a pack away setting so not purpose built and the toilets are shared with the rest of the community building. As you enter through a locked door there is a space in the corridor for the children to put their coats/bags and then another locked door to the main set...

how is my 7 month old supposed to act while she’s teething? she has a temperature of 100.1 but i know once they aren’t newborns that isn’t concerning anymore so i’ve given her tylenol. i definitely see a tooth wanting to come through it hasn’t fully broke skin though i don’t think. she’s sleeping a lot, she’s eating...

Nearly 3. Speech delayed. Day 1 - basically me popping her on potty whenever she was going or I thought she was going. Mostly caught the end of each pee. Noticed she goes every few hours, which I thought was perhaps helpful for training. She happily sits and finishes her wees. Does not wee on potty unless she has al...

Does anyone have any tips to stop a boy from weeing everywhere when changing his nappy? Currently doing the wipe over it but it doesn’t always work as he wriggles a lot

My baby girl is just over 4 months and shes started to teeth. She has moments where she’s fine but quite a few times she’s crying really bad and nothing settles her. I’m very worried that there’s something else going but I wanted to know if anyone has experienced this?She also starts to itch like crazy (she has eczema)

Day 6 of potty training and our little girl screams when she has to go for a poo on the potty? Anyone else experiencing this? Experienced this?

Hey ladies, any tips to get a reluctant potty pooper to let go?! He’s doing really well with wees on the potty & toilet but he keeps saying he doesn’t want to poo on it or doesn’t need it. Multiple dirty pant accidents today and I can tell he does really need to properly go (“tummy owee”) Have tried a reward chart, ...

Has anyone started, if so any tips so far?

Teething remedies please! Very fussy lo at the moment have tried bonjela (idk how to spell it 😂) And cold teething rings

Does anyone happen to know what this is? She’s been on antibiotics since Sunday for tonsillitis and I just noticed that now when she’s back from nursery.

LG is doing really well with potty training. We have her go commando and have rarely had any accidents in the past couple days. The only thing I am struggling with now is going to underwear. Every time I put underwear on her I think she thinks she has a nappy on and will go in her underwear. How did everyone else ap...

My gorgeous girl is 2 months two weeks and is munching and sucking on her fists and fingers, she still does this for food aswell but when not hungry she’s covering her hand in saliva and sometimes cries when we take us out!! She is also making her self gag by putting her finger to the back of her throat!! I don’t th...

My LG has got her first tooth coming through, she’s 5.5 months but the last two days has had the worst blocked nose, gone off her milk, isn’t really interested in the solids we give her (she’s had these for a while), won’t sleep unless on me and will only sleep in our bed at night. Is this common signs of teething...

I need advice! My 2 year old boy can’t stop peeing the bed .. but he’s potty trained. Even if I stop giving him juice at 5 pm and he goes to bed at 9-9:30, and make sure he goes potty before he lays down, he STILL pees the bed… I don’t understand. He’s a hard sleeper though.. My 3 year old girl is fully potty train...

I’m just wondering what approach / resources people are using for potty training. I’ve started but not sure I’m doing it right so would like some recommendations please 🥰

My LO is 4months old, does Teething cause fussiness with bottles? I'm getting so stressed as she's so fussiness

hi mamas! my baby has been having teething symptoms since 4 months. Initially her bottom gums were swollen and i was sure they’d pop out by 6m, but she is soon to be 8m and no signs of bottom teeth yet! Although her drool is crazy, i mean puddles of it! she is chewing everything and anything in sight and when she b...

So we started potty training at about 6 months or so, and we were doing great catching all poops and 90% of pees even going through the night dry often by about 1 - however now she is 17 months and will tell me she needs potty, even bring it to me, and then run off 😅 meaning by the time I've caught her it's too…

Hello, how do you know if your little ones teething?

Got a very grouchy baby, do we think that white ‘spot’ is a tooth on its way ?
