Is anyone else going through this? He refuses to drink and only drinks a few oz every four / five hours. I suspect it might be teething, anyone else go through this?

We started potty training over the summer holidays and he was doing really well, the only thing we had a problem with was getting him to communicate he needed a wee sometimes he would and sometimes he wouldn’t. When the summer holidays finished and he had to go back to nursery, we talked to the staff told him where ...

Please tell me this is normal even though it doesn't seem to be normal, my toddler pees alot, and I mean a looooot. Diaper gets full so fast and it is worse at night , I still change diaper if not we are waking up to pool of pee on the bed. She is supposed to still wear size 3 but currently wearing 5 so it can hold ...

The past two nights my little boy has done a poo in the middle of the night but we have been completely unaware as he hasn’t cried and has gone back to sleep. Yesterday he also did 8 poos and his bum is so so sore. I’ve been giving him nappy free time and using sudocrem but does anyone else have any suggestions to ...

HV said our girl was teething (she didn't look at her gums just her behaviour). I thought teething was lasting just 8 days maximum? She's been covering herself in drool for more than 8 days and her gums look more or less similar today. Though she is napping more, waking up more at night and being fussier in the day...

So my little girl about 2-3 week ago didn’t want to wear nappies to bed anymore hasn’t wore nappies thru day for months and months anyways I let her go to bed without nappy on doubling the sheets with protective mattress/sheet / puppy pads/ sheet . She had accidents for first couple of nights then smashed it like a ...

My daughter has been recently peeing her pants constantly. Sometimes it's 2-4 times a day, everyday that she peed her pants. We have celebrated her being potty trained in early August. I don't know what to do, we redirect her to the potty. It's only at our house, not preschool, not my mom's who watches her. I just d...

Please share any good and bad experiences and tips. 🙏🏻

My daughter is 19 months old and she’s been having a hard time during diaper changes. She’ll scream and cry and tense up when I go to change her. I know I should keep her entertained while changing her but it’s hard. Is this just a phase of some sort? Is she telling me she’s ready for potty training?

My LO is gonna be 2 in December. When did everyone start potty training? I feel like she’s not ready yet but I’m unsure when to start potty training her 🫶🏼

Hello! My almost 3.5 years boy who’s potty trained for 4 months keeps having wet accidents at nursery but at home he doesn’t.. it’s so embarrassing I can’t describe you the feeling I have when the teacher comes to me and says that he had ANOTHER accident today .. it happens almost everyday 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣 I’m so frustrated…

My 3 year old girl has been doing great but today she has partially wet herself before going to the toilet on almost all occasions. Just enough so that I need to change her pants. She's 3 weeks into toilet training and generally does really well. Any ideas how to help this or will this naturally go on its own? I pro...

My almost 9 week old has his first top tooth coming through… any tips? 🥹 He doesn’t like the wet flannel and can’t have anything medicated due to age.

This was monday morning

Is it normal for baby’s to have diarrhea while teething ? TMI. my baby has had watery diarrhea for the past day, but not any discomfort or fever. Can it be from teething ?

Someone commented on my babys eyebrows and said they were really thick/bushy. Now i’m panicing because it can be a sign of nasty conditions. What do you think?

What age is good to begin potty training? My son is 16 months but he is showing crazy signs he might be ready. He points at his diaper when he pees (as we know we can see the color change on the strip.) He goes to his room and points at the diaper drawer when he poops. He likes to follow dad & I to the bathroom and ...

I’m pretty sure my 2 year old is starting to show signs of readiness so this mama is ready to dive into research! What are your tried and true methods? What books do you recommend? Note: we might be dealing with slight neurodivergence so if you have a method that worked for your kiddos on the spectrum that would b...

I have a 4 month old and for about a week he’s been really fussy and grabbing his face and sticking his fingers in his mouth more than ever. I’m a ftm so I’m unsure if he’s just irritable because of sleep regression or teething.

Okay you guys so my 2 yr old son started taking off his diaper so I started putting him on the potty. But now he not only takes his diaper off, he takes all his clothes off. How do I stop this from happening?
