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

Not sure if it’s the teething as he is at the moment, it’s got me worried because he’s surviving on water oxygen and just vibes 😂

Can a baby be sick through teething pain? My daughter was sick early hours this morning and I thought she may of had a bug, but she’s absolutely fine, full of energy, she’s eaten toast and biscuits a couple of hours ago and she’s held everything down. She’s got 5 big back teeth coming in all at once and she’s been u...

Help, I’m beside myself with worry! My 9 month old is teething pretty bad and has a cold so we gave her some ibuprofen this morning. I normally give her 5ml of calpol as that’s the recommended dosage for her age, and I was so sure that it was the same for ibuprofen that I didn’t even think to check the box. I by cha...

My baby is 10 weeks. Started sucking on his fists a few weeks ago but is doing it much more now and his little cheeks are flushed. Could he be teething or is it too early?

I'm wondering if anyone else is in this position. My 17 month old has been teething for the last week (I think they're her fangs coming through?) And also snotty and coughy. This week has been awful to say the least, it's like she hates me! 😪 she's always been cuddly with me and playful with me, but this week she…

My 3.5 year old refuses to poop on the potty and freaks out every time I try anything to get him on there. He’s fine with peeing on the potty. Any tips or tricks??

My LB is potty training almost 100% during the day but still wearing nappies during the night. He had a regression when moving to preschool, which was hard but it seems over no, however he sometimes asks to keep his nappy on (so he can keep playing). I wanted to try some training pants so he doesn't wear nappies any...

Need some advice for anyone who has dealt with this recently - please no general advice as I think I’ll actually have another melt down if someone tells me the usual methods 😅 sorry! I just need to speak to someone who’s had a major toilet/potty regression and can offer some advice? We started potty training very…

alright, my boy is a rockstar when it comes to going on the potty when he's bare bottom....but when we put underwear or a diaper on him, he barely thinks about it at all! some days he's even started telling me he doesn't want to go in the potty and prefers his diaper 🫠. anyone on a similar boat or gotten past this…

Any tips?

I tried my daughter with tomato, both of her cheeks have gone red and feel warm. Is that a reaction or just a coincidence as she is teething?

Would you ladies say this is teething rash her first tooth has now popped through 🥺🥺

What's the best potty for potty training? He's not very comfortable on his big standard one and he keeps putting his hands down his poo nappies 🤢 photo of the poop smearer in question 😂

5.5 yo boy, dry in the day since 3 but still wees twice in his sleep overnight. Hardly drinks in the evening, just isn't dry! I understand it's a hormone thing, still wish his body holds wee or at least tell me. Can you share if you ever actually 'trained' yours?

I've been getting really good at sewing lately and I'm sewing my daughter underwear with tabs for her potty training. I know this is not a thing but does anything think this would be a useful tactic to help ease the mess for potty training. I'm thinking more mess at daycare than home for me but like how would others...

My little one is 12 weeks on Monday. The last couple days she’s been chewing/sucking her hands like no tomorrow. She tries to ‘bite’ our hands or noses if by our faces (she’s not hungry as would have just eaten) She’s more irritable and is fighting naps, spits dummy out & goes to chew hands, cries and go back to du...

About to start but feeling apprehensive. Any tips? My main issue is we are always out and about so how do you manage on the go? Travel potty?

Could this just be a teething rash? He has been producing a lot of saliva lately

Potty training is going terribly! Yes I know he’s only 1 but no better time to start than now… diapers are expensive and life is life’n. My kid refuses to go to sleep without a bottle and when it’s empty he is screaming bloody murder! Tonight I tried to smooth him and just talk him back to sleep… jokes on me he cli...
