My daughter is gonna turn three years old on the 26th of December. The nursery have been saying our friends go on the toilet and they think she’s ready as she’s starting to tell them when she’s weed and stuff like that. I tried for about two weeks to potty trainer, no nappies apart from at night. pants the whole day...

My little boy is teething and really struggling today. However his teeth don't look anywhere near to cutting, has anyone's babies gums looked like this beforehand? He also has a cold with it which I've heard some babies do? Not a good combo! ❤️

Can anyone recommend somewhere to go private in Nottingham to get a tongue tie sorted? Can’t even get a GP appointment, never mind the referral to get it done 🥲

Am I the only one who isn't excited about ditching diapers to now physically have to take my little one to the potty every time they have to pee or poop. As if this wasn't hard enough (SAHM)

Hi moms!! I'm looking for any recommendations for a pediatric dentist here in the springs area? I was going to Colorado Springs pediatric dentistry but I have predatory billing happen twice and it turned into my word against theirs when I tried to dispute it. I just can't take my kids back there but also don't want ...

My little one has started chewing her hands and fingers. At first we thought she just discovered them but she’s also become a little restless and pulls a button at her right ear. Could the little white bump be a tooth? My husband thinks it’s far too early for teething - she’d only 3 months tomorrow. If it is any tip...

Do you leave the door open when you pee/poop, or do you close it?

My girl is 6 months and me and her dad have got sore throats and are run down. Last night she was awful going to bed which she never is, I've checked her temparature this morning and it's 37.7 and I've just given her the first bottle today, she usually has 8oz but has only had 5oz. Could it be a sign that she is unw...

I never had any issues with my eldest as I was on my own completely and not working. Second time round and nearly 20 years after my first, I'm lost🙈 help!

I thought about posting incognito but screw it, maybe this post will help someone else. My 3 yo is still in diapers. Whenever I change him, I ask him if he feels wet or dirty so that he starts associating the sensations with the words, but he won’t tell me when he’s gone. Maybe 30% of the time he’ll tell me about ...

Any tips or advice for potty training please! We have a 4 month old too so hoping to make it as smooth as possible 🤞🏼

My daughter is three next week and she seems to have got funny with sitting down and eating dinner. Some days she’s happily sit and eat foods like meatballs and spag bol But now she seems to just want to snack, she eats fruit all the time happily but she will eat a few mouthful of her dinner and then walk off and...

HELP ME. I’ve just decided to toilet train my LB. When he wore nappies he’d tell me when he’s done a wee/poo but since he’s had no nappies on he isn’t saying anymore. I take him to the toilet very frequently and it’s hit and miss, I feel like he’s holding his wee in because he can go HOURS without an accident. I kno...

My baby has been teething and I noticed his barely there tooth looked like it was dangling off, which it was. It bled very little and not it’s gone. He didn’t cry and his gums don’t seem swollen. Should I be more concerned about his tooth not growing back?

On a scale of 1 to 4

What is everyone using for teething? My LG tooth is finally cutting through and it’s been a very rough few days with lots of tears and been very unsettled all day everyday. We’ve tried the Aston parsons powder but they don’t seem to be working on her, calpol is the only thing that helps her but it says on the packag...

When’s a good time for 1st dentist appointment?

My baby is 14 months w| 4 top teeth, 4 bottom teeth, &’ 2 molars coming in. When do I take her to the dentist?

Now that my son has started weaning, I'm unsure as to whether I should now clean his gums morning and evening (he has no teeth yet). What's everybody else doing? Should I buy a silicone finger brush so he gets used to the sensation of brushing? Currently I offer water after his meal to wash away any bits in his m...
