My 4 yr old keeps sneaking off to poop in her pants, at first she was saying it’s too hard to push it out but since then I have been giving her lots of fruit with her meals and her poop is soft and mushy like paste…she still sneaks and goes upstairs or on the steps then I check her and she’s already poop on herself…...

Somebody give me some different ideas on how to help my 16 month old with teething pain!

My 7 week old baby is drooling really bad, has red cheeks and become quite grizzly. Surely it’s too early to be teething?

WHEN WILL IT ENDDDDDDDD teething for ever, has 2 good days of eating normally and like being a precious angel and then BAM another molar. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

So, this week has been horrible. My boy just turned 3 months last week and I think he’s teething. Idk if it’s even possible but he’s biting at his hands, drooling, flush checks, and SO cranky. I made a doc appointment for tomorrow but I’m a FTM and wondering if this is even possible. I’ll post a pic - not sure what ...

My 4 month old has been really fussy at night and constantly chewing on stuff. Does this look like a tooth coming through

First time mom over there. My son is walking but when do we start potty training them? At the age of two? One? Now? Later? 😭 help. Not looking forward to potty training

Heya, my 9 month old has his 2 bottom teeth. I can see top ones starting to come through but the two as the side have come through the gums with no sign of the top middle too yet. Might look funny with a middle gap a while! Has anyone else's little ones teeth come through in a different order than 'normal'? X

Any tips? Or tricks. Also, is there like an app? 🫠🫠♥️ pls help this melting momma

Hey girls, I am in absolutely agony with my tooth, does anyone know if you get free emergency dental care covered with the mat certificate?? Thanks

Hey guys! My son peed in the potty basically all on his own this week and is showing signs or readiness to start training. I’m only finding pull ups in size 2t. Is that the smallest they come in? He’s somewhere between a 5 & 6 in Huggies diapers right now. He fits some 2t pajamas so it should be fine right?

My lo is 7 weeks and infacol only helped up until roughly 4 weeks, using colief drops for colic which is helping but still very bothered with trapped wing! Any one who’s used dentinox would you recommend?

Like when did you start feeling comfortable going places without worrying about accidents? (Comment kids age when you started potty training?)

In anyway? I'm being foreal not trying to be funny because he will be 33 soon he says he's trying to make it out here like everyone else but it's hard because he's by hisself and doesn't have the help anyway.

When did your little one become dry at night?

I feel so concerned because we just cannot get potty training right. We have been trying since Easter time and had three really big tries with no nappies, charts, stickers the lot. Each time has gotten worse. I feel like such a failure and lost all confidence and feel it will never happen now. ☹️

How long does it take for a tooth to cut through when you can see the line on the gums?

I've been trying to potty training my 2 year old by letting him be bottom naked and encouraging him to use the potty when he shows signs of needing to pee but he keeps peeing on the floor because he thinks it's hilarious to then splash in it 🤦🏻‍♀️ the few times he has peed on the potty we've celebrated but…

Does anyone know of any dentists taking on NHS patients in County Down or close? Thanks x
