I started potty training my almost 27 month old yesterday and she did really well. I took her nappy off and put some leggins on. She knows when she’s had an accident but isn’t able to tell me when she needs to go yet. She doesn’t like the potty and prefers the toilet. I take her to the toilet regularly. So yesterd...

How long till this bastard pops through? 😂😂 teething is kicking my arse! Finally got a decent look in his mouth..

So my daughter normally eats cereal mixed with a fruit puree for breakfast every morning. Past 2 days she wakes up fine and ready but won’t eat unless it’s a bottle. Her top gums are super swollen so I know she’s teething but I’m worried. Normal? When her bottom teeth were coming in she was still eating as normal.

I am seeing LOTS of posts at the minute about troubles with nurseries and changing nappies. They’re all usually from parents of 2 and a half year olds and up… If it’s a problem and it’s causing distress, potty train them!! Not trying to victim blame at all, but they are big enough to be trained so get it done a...

How old was everyone’s babies when they first started teething? my daughter is 10 weeks old today and my mum touched her bottom gums, she was fine and then touched her top gums and she screamed, my mum said she could feel like a lump on the right side of her top gums thinking it might be a tooth she is drooling ...

We are using the Ashton and parsons powder and gel and calpol if really upset but what else can we do? My girl is even off her food now we have never really experienced any bad teething episodes until now☹️

My lil girl is nearly 3 and I really need to get her potty trained, she has bladder and kidney issues as is so her doctor has said she needs to be out of nappies asap as shes more prone to infections whilst she’s still in them. She’s just adamant she doesn’t want to use it but I can’t keep putting it off either. I’v...

I am all for healthcare and people getting the help they need and dental check ups are important… but why am earth does it have to cost soooo much! Like who has £25+ spare to pay for someone to look and go okay your fine see you in 6 months 👀😩. Like I cannot justify the cost of the dentist when there’s better…

My son is 3 years and 2 months and we most likely waited too long to potty train. I prepped him by reading books, TV shows and telling him about the upcoming training but he is pretty much in love with diapers at this point and associates potty training with not being a baby anymore 🥺 and he additmitely says he…

Hello all, does anyone's baby head feels warm at times? theres no pattern as such but sometimes the back of his hear, sometimes entire head feels warm than the rest of his body! could it be due to teething?

My 4yr old little girl is doing great with peeing in the potty but says it’s too hard to push out poop on the potty but she goes with ease in her pants so I’m not sure why it’s hard on the potty? Her poop has been mushy to solid and I’m not sure if she is constipated or just holding the poop…because she keeps saying...

We are in the TRENCHES with teething right now. He has 2 bottom teeth and I don’t remember it being this bad. Please send any recommendations to help!

At what age should they be able to wipe their own poos? When should they be dry at night?

Any advice?? We did the three day at home straight to underwear method with our 16 month old after about a month of talking about/reading books about going potty so it wasn't out of the blue. I know that seems early but she is showing all the signs of readiness and signs to tell us she needs to go since she can't sa...

My baby is 8 weeks old but has all the signs of teething… recently has been unsettled, red cheeks, chews on his hands 24/7. He’s just got my finger in his mouth and was biting down hard on it. Could it be possible he’s started teething or not?

My little one is hurtingggg! She’s been teething for a while but it’s getting rough. Shoving her hand in her mouth and yelling, all toys in her mouth, drool all over and now a rash on her face. We’ve used Mommy’s Bliss gels but they don’t seem to help. She likes the ice pacifier but won’t use the frozen teething toy...
