He’s been having many many accidents, but when he gets ho...

NHS sdvice is to bring baby to a dentist as soon as they have the first milk tooth but it's impossible to find a practice that accepts new NHS patients! Is private the only way to go? Is there any way to track when practices open their waiting lists?

Any tips on this topic would be much aprishiated, for reference I have an 18month old boy xxx

My sons about to be three and he's jot yet potty trained. I feel so shit about it and I've been so sick as I'm pregnant to the point where I'm like on and off with it. I'm gonna try my hardest to try again this week. He's soso smart and has indicated when he's done and poo and pee which is very good. Need to move m...

My 6 month old has suddenly doing this thing where it looks like she's chewing anyone know what this is?

My baby’s started wanting to chew on everything, drooling more, and being fussy the last couple days. I took a look in her mouth and I see her lateral incisor through her gums. Anyone’s babies have teeth besides the bottom two come in first? Or is this just a coincidence?

Little man is 7.5 months old and has gone down for bed well for a long time! The last few nights he has screamed and sobbed until he can't breath properly and will only settle for me and not my husband! His top gums are purpley red and look very inflamed but no teeth visible! He is cutting a lateral incisor on the t...

Hi, I'm a FTM and my 6months old baby has been soooo fussy for the past few days and I'm not sure why... We are still waiting for his first tooth to come out even though he has been drooling and chewing on everything for months, so possibly teething pain? I don't want to give him unnecessary medication but also I fe...

We started at the beginning of feb, straight to knickers, very excited for the potty and big toilet, used sticker charts, lots of praise, chocolate rewards. Lots of accidents as expected but getting better then she just decided she didn’t want to do it and so then came the tantrums. BUT, she will happily go at nurse...

Hey mummas, Just looking for some recommendations for the best potty in your opinion. Im not sure why some are £50 but I can see there are a lot of different ones available & want to ideally get one that's cheap & easy to clean

Is anyone else’s 2 year just not interested in doing it ? She has done two poos and a pee on her potty off her own back just randomly but will withhold pee for 6/7 hours if I try to potty train her! I have just left it for now but I am so anxious about it !

Hey. When does your baby start teething. My lil one is 7 month about to be 8 month soon but he still haven’t teething. What are some sign that I should look out for?

I heard you gotta get a new one when they get sick. Do you keep using the old/current toothbrush? Would that not keep them sick longer?

Hi, my son is exactly 19months 23days old and I have started potty training. I’m not sure how to go about it, when he was around 18months I introduced him to the toilet and his potty training seat. I’ve had my husband let him watch him use the bathroom this was a suggestion from our pediatrician. I also was told ...

Anyone else's 3 year old (3 in a few weeks) not potty trained fully or is it just us? He does the odd wee but has only ever done 1 or 2 poos. He doesn't seem fully ready but also I've got a 6 month old so admittedly I've not been focusing solely on potty training. It's so hard to do it all 😂😭 Anyone else?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a pediatric dr that does lip and tongue ties anywhere between orlando or daytona? Our pediatric dentist recommended someone in fort Lauderdale but that is too far.

Hi all. My lb is potty trained and having very few accidents. We're going on holiday at the end of May. Do I still put him in swim nappies? He's not done a poo in his pants for weeks/months but I'm not convinced he'll be motivated to get out of the pool if he needs one.

My 5 year old relative soils herself everyday, sometimes multiple times a day and their parents don't see it as an issue and they say atleast she can read. I'm baffled by that response but want to know if I'm the awkward one or if other people would be happy with this

Evening all, my nearly 3 year old has been toilet trained for wees and out of nappies in the day for nearly a year but she still refuses to poo on the toilet.. She gets herself in a right state when we ask her to poo on a toilet and holds her poos for days and then she gets severely constipated. We’ve started not ...

My 20 mo is starting to show some signs on potty training!!! She takes her diaper off and under covers. I have a little potty where she can climb up and sit but, she’s not really going. She just sits and plays with the paper. I only take her to the bathroom after I change her diaper. What other advice/tips do you ha...
