TEETHING.

Any mom experience “teething poops” I’m not sure if this is normal or not. My daughter is teething at the moment, she has two teeth coming in. Nothing has changed in her diet at all. And she’s eating normal no fever. Acting totally normal, but is just pooping non stop that it’s causing a rash…I’m a little concerne...

Pup peeing on our floors

I have a 7 month old French Bulldog who is such a good listener. We got her when I was pregnant so I was home with her everyday & trained her really well. After 1 week of being home she was able to sit, shake, high 5, go to bed & she was toilet trained very quickly. She was roughly 4 months old when I gave birth. ...

Dog peeing in the house

My 3 year old cavapoo is still peeing indoors in the kitchen, in the exact same spot. But only when we have left the house. I'm definitely suspecting it's tied to the pregnancy... as we've been here in this house for a while. Anyone have any solutions? We've tried retraining him, and tried doing enzyme sprays etc.

Potty training 😩

This is NOT going well. My son doesn’t want to sit on a potty and we don’t want to force him. He completely doesn’t care about stickers. He used to sit every now and then and had a few successes but lately he just doesn’t want to go anywhere near it now:( Anyone has any tips?

Wiping butt 🤣

Any tips for helping my 3 year old be able to wipe her own bum? Obviously I do help, but her little arms can’t even reach around at the moment so I’m not sure how she can even try herself yet 😅

Potty training….

Hi everyone, my little boy still isn’t potty trained and also is refusing to sit on the potty.. Back in September we tried putting him in pants and no nappy. He was doing ok but after 3 weeks he was still wetting himself 90% of the time.. I don’t know what to do, he’s just outright refusing. I don’t know whether...

Potty training

I’m trying to start potty training my 16 month old. She went once after sitting on it for like 15 minutes but every time I try to put her back on the little potty she cries. How can I make it fun for her?

Is this teething

I honestly feel like we’ve been ‘teething’ for months 🙃 her cheeks are really red and warm. She’s not got a temperature and is not ill. They’ve been like this for a few days.

Cat won’t quit peeing on everything

He’s my eldest cat and has never had this problem before. Took him to the vet fearing the worst. He’s perfectly healthy, no signs of stress or anything. Vet guesses he’s just feeling more territorial in his old age. It’s gotten ridiculous. I left the dryer open when I was getting a blanket out of the wash as my ba...

Teething or cold?

Has anyone else’s baby started teething? Mine has but his older brother brought home a cold that I’m pretty sure he got. I took him to a pediatrician in the office I go to because his pediatrician is on vacation and she dismissed my concerns that he has a cold and told me he is just teething. I don’t think that’s wh...

Potty training

For those who have already potty trained, how did you know they were ready?? We are thinking of potty training my 20 mo. old since I feel like she’s been showing some signs for a while.. The biggest sign is that when she sees me go to the bathroom, she will look down at her diaper and make herself pee. Also when she...

Potty training

When should we potty train? I’m conflicted :/ she’s showing signs of starting to be ready but I’m not sure yet. She hates having a nappy on she takes it off as she’s done anything (even if she wasn’t finished 🤦‍♀️) and runs about without but there isn’t really any signs she’s about to go I’m 18 weeks pregnant…

Teething

Has anyone else found their babies are teething from such a young age? My baby is 6 weeks old and it’s definitely his gums that are bothering him! He just manages to fall asleep then wakes up again crying with the pain it’s awful😩 Is there anything at all that we can give them to help or anything we can do?

Teething toys

Are we sterilising our teething toys or just washing them? My LB constantly chews on his hands or my hands and they’re clean but they wouldn’t be sterile just with soap and water He also chews on his sleeves or on a muslin which aren’t going to be completely sterile His dad’s a farmer and we have does in the house...

Teething - is this normal??

My boy is 9.5 months with 7 teeth, and he's always has a rough time with it. It feels like it takes forever for a tooth to come in, and he seems to be in pain for a week beforehand, at least. It also disrupts his sleep, where he can sometimes wake up every hour at night, crying. He goes back to sleep quickly, but it...

Does teething make anyone else’s LO gag/retch?

My LG only has 4 teeth so don’t have much experience with teething still. She was awake around 4am gagging and retching but just kept bringing up clear liquid and my partner has messaged to say she’s just done it again. Checked her gums and we can feel 2 teeth on both sides coming through so wondering if this is a n...
