Need help! My 3 year old little girl has been potty training since just before her birthday in September and now all of a sudden it seems we have hit some sort of regression. She has made an accident every day this past week (including 2 days where she had 2 at nursery). Previously at the beginning we were giving ...

When to lose nappies at bedtime?

My girl has been potty trained since last August. Of course we have the occasional accident still, but 95% she is successful using the toilet. I’m still using pull ups at night time but 99% of the time she is dry in the morning and it just feels like such a waste of money and of nappies! 🫠 I know it would be…

How long is a teething episode?

My 8 month old is getting his 6th tooth and has been unsettled for 10 days straight. He's been checked by the Dr just to rule out anything else. The google search says a teething episode is around 1 week, so now by the 10 day mark I'm getting really worried. What are your experiences?

Odd toileting question..

Dentist visits while pregnant

Soo I've gotta have two fillings tomorrow, and I've just found I'm pregnant. Does this mean I have to have the procedure medication free? Are they still allowed to numb my mouth for the work? Surely there's something I can have🤷🏽‍♀️ UK based. NHS if that makes any difference.

Potty training apps

Hi mamas, What potty training apps do you guys use to help you keep track of the time to put them back on the toilet? I’m beginning to start and try to put her on the pot every 30 min. I just need a reminder. Thank you!
