My son will be 2 in March and wondering when we should start potty training? How do I know when he is ready? And how do we start? We got him a potty and he will sometimes sit on it (with his diaper on) while I am using the restroom and he says, “potty.” It has a pretend flusher on it that makes the sound so he will ...

Hi Girls, Maybe a silly question but I went to touchwood today and needed the loo but had baby and pram with me... I went to the baby changing by John lewis but there seemed to be no cubicles... How do I navigate this? Would I fit into the disabled loo with the pram? Do I need to make sure I'm near a baby changing /...

Sorry if this has been talked about already. Im so bad at finding specific posts. I’m a FTM so I have no Idea what to do. He’s been showing little signs here and there, but this weekend was bad.

Ok, so I had to take my 3-year-old old son to the doctor this past week because he hadn't pooped for a week. The doctor pulled out a poop that was blocking everything else and had me run him to the toilet where he pooped quite a bit, but now that was Wednesday. He still won't poop. She said he was holding it, which ...

Honestly my baby is the whingy fussy baby and has been ‘teething’ for way over a month and a half, I honestly can’t do this anymore what should I do? He’s extreme every day

i’m not sure if it’s just me being overstimulated or what but it feels like my almost 1 year old cries ALL THE TIME. i can not catch a break. i offer her food, i’ll change what ever is on the tv, she doesn’t want to be held, i offered her food/ snacks and NOTHING. she is just constantly fussy and she used to not be ...

It feels crazy that I'm posting this because my daughter isn't even 17 months old yet! But she just attempted to say the word poop, did the sign for diaper change, then pointed the bathroom when I went to change her. So I sat her on the potty and she pooped within a minute. Sometimes we'll sit her on the potty if sh...

Has anyone had dental work done during the postpartum stage? I'm pretty sure I'm going to need teeth removed and some root canals. But I'm aiming for a full set of dentures. But I also don't want to miss work so I'm trying to see how long it takes to heal and how long I should be out of work for it.

Hi, My 3 month old isn't drinking much of her milk and is playing around with her teat a lot in her mouth. I do think she is teething, but wondered if it could be anything else? We did recently up her teat size and she began to get on really well with the change but now she is back to playing with the teat again.

How do I know when my baby is teething? He’s almost 3 months old but he’s been really fussy the past few days and I’m not sure if he’s teething or not?

Is this a thing bcos my LO has been fine for a couple of month and now just peeing through her clothes. Not even a little bit - I mean a full wee, she’s not stopping herself. She’s been doing this for the last few days

I work with animals and we have a very large boa just now and when we were giving her her oral medication we had a little accident and her tooth scratched my thumb and it bled a lot. I cleaned it straight away with antibacterial soap and then hibiscrub. Kept the pressure on to stop the bleeding and popped a plaster ...

We started potty training last Saturday ands it’s been going fairly well but the last 2 nights she hasn’t done any wee in her nappy overnight and has been waking up earlier to go to the toilet. I wasn’t even going to try potty training overnight for a long while I thought she wouldn’t be ready but it seems that she ...
