Any January 2024 babies with top teeth yet?

My baby has her bottom two and I’m convinced she’s teething again 🤯 so fussy, refusing paci again, coming off breast during feeds and crying, drool, chewing, the whole shabang. Curious if anyone else is seeing signs of top teeth.

Teething?

Dose this seem like teething to anyone. I’m a first time mom and not sure. She is fed so don’t say she’s hungry this is 20 mins after eating a 7oz bottle. She will cry/act fussy unless she’s sucking on her hand or my finger or dad’s finger. She is 3 months old.

Teething

I think my 2 month old might be teething. He's EXTRA fussy and wanting to constantly be on the boob for comfort, or knawing at his hands. How can I know for sure and what is the best thing to give him to help?

3 year old goes to potty on his own, sits on the potty but when he has to pee he comes out and runs to his “safe space” and pees there

He has a favorite little nook in the living room, behind his play area, its a little corner: he gets up from the potty and runs there and pees. Ps: he often says I need to go to the toilet but when we go there is nothing (we sit long). When I try to ask him to come out or pick him up from this little spot he goes...

"Dummy teeth" concerns

So sorry she has ice cream in her mouth in this 🙈 best photo I could find (click to see full) My daughter turned 3 on 1st July and absolutely loves her dummy. It's her biggest comfort, but I only allow it when she's tired/about to go to sleep (bedtime/naptime). I always get 'orthodontic dummies' as assumed these…

Is this what it looks like before a tooth pops through? If so, how much longer? It’s really bothering him 😫

Potty training for a year!

So it’s coming up to one year since we started potty training, and although my LG fully understands how to use the toilet/potty, will (mostly) tell us when she needs to go, if we ask her to go she never refuses (so she’s not fearful or anything) yet she still has so many accidents. Some days she has none and others ...

Braces transfer.

So what are you supposed to do when you and your insurance both paid off on your braces but your orthodontist is injured so they want you to transfer dentists and they don’t plan to reimburse you all the way for the new orthodontist? Do I need a dental lawyer or something?

Potty training

Has anyone attempted potty training yet? My little girl has done a few poos and wee’s on the potty only by me recognising she needs to go rather than her taking herself to the potty. I don’t know whether to try and see how training goes or is just too early? I’m off work for 6 days so feels like a good time to foc...

Is it possible for baby to be teething?

My baby came at 33 weeks so she’s around 15 weeks and is around 9 weeks corrected. I’ve noticed on her top gums she’s got 2 swollen lumps and she’s chewing her hand and crying even after being fed. Is it possible she could be teething? Even though her corrected age she’s not even 3 months old.

Potty training tips!

My son does 9/10 wees and poos on the potty when he is at home and doesn't have his nappy on. When he has his nappy on he tends to just use that. How do we start to move away from nappies? I don't feel like he is ready for underpants in public yet. I don't really know what the transitional steps are! Advice welcome...

Trip Advice?

Any trip advice for travelling *alone* with a freshly potty trained 3 year old? She has been potty training for a month, and has only had one accident in 2 weeks, which was literally today as she wet her bed. The car ride, without stops, is 3.5 hours. Would it be counter intuitive to put her in a pull up while we ar...

My almost 6 month old seems to be teething. Over the past month, she was extra drooly and clenching her teeth. As of yesterday, she has been extra fussy and holding her ear - side of her head. Any tips or tricks you have to give baby some relief?

Potty Training at Nursery

Just started potty training my daughter but she doesn’t want to use her potty at nursery, we’ve taken hers in so she’s familiar with it, but that isn’t helping, still early days but if you’ve been in the same situation did you persevere or postpone for a little while?

Blue around mouth?

Hi please help, does my son look blue on the skin around his mouth? I am worried after researching that he may have cyanosis/not enough oxygen in his body. Does anybody else’s baby have a slight blue tinge around mouth at times?
