Hey mummies, My little boy is a few days shy of three months but is showing small signs of teething already. I’ve looked at his little gums and feel like I can see a sign of white pegs under, he’s drooling a lot and has been very irritable the last few nights. Is it too early though? And any recommendations on any t...

Does anyone else’s baby seem to get a cold when teething? My LO has the past few days been very congested, sneezing runny nose and lots of coughing and over night he’s been sick a few times. But he seems perfectly well in himself, playing nicely and happy. He didn’t do this with his bottom teeth but I think both ...

My LO has been showing this since a month ago. Is this normal since she's drooling more too??

Hi my nephew is 15 and lives with my mother (72) he was adopted and he is really bad. On another level bad. He is already 6’200 pounds. He just wants to stay in room, eat, and play video games. My mom took away his games he refuses to go to school. He threw water and my mom and cops were called. How do we get him to...

So yesterday and today I've noticed that just one of my little boys cheeks is red and hot, is this just teething or do I need to get him looked at? Google isnt very helpful 🤦🏻‍♀️

Does anyone else find it so frustrating to go anywhere like shopping or a day out because there's nowhere to feed or change your baby? Its a 10 minute drive to my town centre and there's only 2 public toilets in the whole town. One in the bus station and one in the shopping centre which are on opposite ends of town ...

recently, my son decided he’s never going to sit still for a diaper change ever again. even when i put the clips on him on the changing table he manages to wiggle around. i’ve tried giving him a toy or my phone, nothing. i put his diaper on him while he stands now, and when he poops i’ve just started rinsing him do...

My baby is having a pretty bad teething day. He’s off his feeds and just chomping on my nipple. Has anyone experienced this?

It's the same on both sides. My husband says he can't see anything but I can. Am I being crazy or does he need an eye test?

My little boy is currently cutting molars and his poo has been horrific. He’s also got such a bad nappy rash from it bless him. Everywhere I look online says teething poos aren’t a thing!

On hold with 111. Any idea what this could be? Looks too bad to be teething? On hold with 111 to see if we should be going to A&E

Does anyone have any advice for what to do if your toddler is sitting on the potty at school and he actually pees but when he gets home, he refuses to even sit on the potty and just wets himself instead. And afterward says 'diaper' to me. I feel like we are digressing at home and negating the success that daycare i...

Wondering when I should start potty training

Needing some tips on how to help my little dude get over these 3 teeth that are coming through! He already has two but they appeared out of nowhere and had absolutely no issue at all with them - but now his top teeth 3 of them are trying to break the gum at once and it’s been absolutely horrendous! At the momen...

I’ve seen a few posts about potty’s and wondered how you know when your little one’s ready ? My daughter doesn’t say any words yet but she has a good understanding of what’s going on. Also do you use the pull up pants or nappy ?

Hey, we are not potty training religiously at the moment but trying to get her comfortable with it. Today I took her nappy off around the time she normally does a number 2 and tried to encourage her to sit on the potty. She did a few times but then did the number 2 on the floor instead. Perhaps not ready for potty t...

Feel like we've come to hault and doesn't want to use the potty she tells me when she's weed in nappy but won't use the potty no more 😕

Has anyone started potty training their babies? Our LG is 17 months and we started training yesterday, 3 poos in the potty and multiple wees, and so far, it has been the easiest thing to do!

Has anyone thought about weaning yet? LO is 6 months December 6th, but 6 months technically on the 27th of this month. I’ve had two diff HVs tell me to wait until December but also that from November is fine so just wanted to see where you guys are at! She has 2 teeth, can sit up in high chair perfectly fine and al...

Not sure if I'm seeing things, or if teeth look different coming up than I thought. But does my LG have 2 teeth coming through, or is this just how one looks coming through? Excuse her face, she wasn't impressed with me changing her nappy 🤣
