How long does teething actually last for?!

So frustrated. LO has been showing signs of teething since he was about 3/4 months old. However, for the past week its been different. Drooling, fussiness, loss of appetite, sleep disrupted, wakes up crying, rash on face, chewing everything etc. But there's still no tooth! Google said it should take a week to cut ...

Nappy rash

My LB has never had nappy rash before but the last 2 days he seems to have got it 😔 would it be to do with him teething? His diet obviously hasn't changed and he's not been ill, haven't swapped nappy brands or changed the brand of wipes we use... Just seems very sudden

Teething 😳

So I think my LG has started teething! She’s 9 weeks, will be 10 weeks on Monday! She’s got a load of saliva all the time, she’s trying to chew on everything and when I feel her bottom gum at the front I can feel something hard and sharp! Surely this is her teething? But I thought she was far too young? Any help...

Potty training!!! My almost 3 year old is 37 lbs and she wear 5at clothing so she’s clearly off the charts for her height and weight. We just got a training potty for her today but she’s way too tall and chunky for it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a training potty that is better for taller toddlers? I don’t want her to use a toilet seat attachment just yet.

Pooping in the toilet

My toddler has done amazing with doing wees on the toilet and has no accidents anymore, however we can’t seem to get him to do poops on the toilet. He is willing to sit on there for couple mins and says it’s not coming and ends up doing it in his pants. Any tips please it’s been over a month now 😭

Witholding

Hey everyone; my 2 year old is fully potty trained and has been for nearly 4 months but the past few weeks he's been withholding his poo to the point of screaming whenever he needs to poo and refuses to go. Toys and stickers aren't helping; I've started him on a prune in the morning and a prune in the evening to mak...

Reluctant potty trainer

I’d like to hear from anyone who has a kid who is reluctant to potty train and what you did to convince them! Before his birthday we tried for a weekend and he cried every time we put him on a potty. It felt like we were making it more traumatising and he probably just wasn’t ready. We’ve waited until now and ha...

Teething?

How do you know if your LO has started teething? My LO is usually a happy little thing, but today she has screamed the house down non-stop. I’ve never experienced anything like it. She’s been eating her hands all day and nothing will console her. Is this teething and does anyone have any advice??

Potty training

We are 8 days into potty training and my daughter is doing amazing. Only had 3 accidents and goes by herself and doesn't have to be reminded/asked to go. However I'm concerned with the frequency of use. We had a family member visit and said she was using the toilet a lot (I hadn't noticed as I was more concerned wit...

Teething?

My son will be 3 months old on the 29th and I swear he's teething. Super, super fussy, very difficult to soothe, drooling buckets (not literally but significantly more drool the last couple days), chewing on anything that comes near his face. I hate seeing him so upset 😩 plus I started a new job this week and…

Help with pullups/diaper transition?!

Our little guy is only 1.9 years old and not quite ready for potty training.. He has outgrown diapers, for the most part (barely holding on to a size 6 lol) and pull-ups don't hold everything in at night, so he wakes up saturated, and sometimes the poop can't be contained. We bought a pack of diapers for night ti...
