Has anyone found a dentist in Reading who is accepting new NHS patients - finding it difficult!

Hello! So my little boy potty trained during the day just after turning 2. He is now 3 and he never stopped using pull ups at night time and they are always wet in the morning. I am wondering if I should do something about it as it has been almost a year since potty training in the day? Thanks :)

Poos need to happen in a nappy whilst he’s hugging me 😭😂 bless him. Pooped a few times in potty and was happy but can’t make it regular .. somehow it’s upsetting for him. He is really good with weeing in the potty though since last October. Anyone relates or has tips? Much love

The time has come (i think) My little girl is 2 now and we want to get her used to using a toilet / potty ASAP! She's wearing pull ups and has just done a wee on the potty after waking up. I'm gonna sit her back on in about 30 mins after her milk and see if she will go again. Any tips would be greatly welcomed! ...

Hey guys I'm a first time mom and I have no idea on how to or when to start potty training. I know they say boys are slower when it comes to potty training but I just want to know when is a good time to start and how to introduce the toilet? My son is 14 months old

We're on day 4 of potty training, and every poos are a success in the potty. However, pees haven't been a success. I've tried having her completely bare and this didn't help, so tried to keep clothes on and when she's wet herself ill take her to the potty and there her this is where to go pee. I feel like she just ...

I’m pretty sure my daughter is only peeing a little bit to get her reward, a sticker, and not letting all of it go. It could be that I am just making her go more often than she needs to because she hardly ever tells me when she needs to go. I’m not sure how to get the point across to her that she needs to let it all...

Is it possible my baby is teething? He’s nearly 4 months. I thought dribbling was development thing which I think it started off as but now he’s dribbling A LOT to the point if he doesn’t have a bib on 24/7 his clothes and chest get soaked! He’s sometimes refuses naps during the day and get irritable while chomping ...

My daughter is going to be 4 in May and we have been struggling with a really intense fear of going in the potty since the beginning. She’ll sit on it but hold it in intentionally. We’ve tried backing off for months waiting for her to show readiness, rewards, books, songs, and even pushing her to go diaper free all ...

My boy has known what the toilet/potty is, when he’s pooing, and when he’s peeing for months now, absolutely screams the place down when I do his nappy, will sit on the potty clothed, watches me on the toilet alllllll the time lol (single mum so he is literally my toilet buddy as he follows me everywhere 😂). But he…

Has anyone found anything that actually helps with teething? My little boy got all his incisors pretty close together and seems to struggle with teething pain for a long time before they actually break and now it’s started again for molars and he is so grumpy all the time! From wake up to bed and disturbed through t...

Hi guys! My son is 3 months old and I’m 99% sure he is teething. He is absolutely inconsolable. I’ve been using orajel for babies and Camila drops but I hate relying on that stuff and now it’s to the point I don’t even think it is making a difference. He hates teethers and will not calm down unless I’m walking aroun...

My son is 3&1/2 and we've been potty training for a few months. He seemed to have it all figured out until I took his small potty and had him start using the toilet in the bathroom. He has a potty seat and a stool so he can climb up and sit comfortably. This worked for a little but over the past few weeks he's just ...

Has anyone ever received a ticket from Texas Highway Patrol for pulling over in standstill traffic to change a poopy diaper (there was no where to go except the grass, no exits for miles, and stuck in standstill traffic)? I know the ticket will get thrown out because we did nothing wrong, she just assumed the worst...

Is anyone else still struggling? She’s definitely ready but just refusing to go on the toilet. She’s got a little toilet downstairs and a seat for our upstairs toilet. She will sometimes sit on them. She’s not been wearing a nappy in the house since Thursday and she’s not even attempting to try and wee on the toilet...

I am struggling on how to start potty training. Everything I see says to do stickers or candy like m&ms. She can’t do stickers yet because she will eat them, and she can’t have m&ms and most candy because she is allergic to milk protein (different from lactose). Does anyone have any ideas?

My little has gotten cold symptoms and low grade fevers every other week followed by a new molar popping through. Not sure if it’s related or if he’s literally getting sick every single time? He’s honestly only ever been sick a handful of times so I think it’s odd it’s been so back to back!

My child has developed this rash all over her body. She hasn’t been her self the last two days with two molars coming in so we have been giving her calpol, could this be related to teeth ? It’s more red that it is in the pic.

Hey mamas! I need help/advice, my 3 year old daughter is fully potty trained on going pee on the toilet but she refuses to tell me before she has to poop. She comes and tells me she went right after going but will not tell me before hand so she can go on the toilet. Please help.

Does anyone know how to open this door?? Do I call the police. It’s 9pm idk if a handyman will come. There’s literally no screws that I can unlock and there’s nothing in the side of the door.
