Child Development

Not sure if i should start potty training my 16 month old. I have a potty chair sitting out where hes able to get to it. Anytime hes in the middle of eatting he will get up and go sit on the potty. He only goes poop. But when hes done he will get up and come over to me. Almost like hes telling me hes done going potty.

How do you know if your little one is ready? Mine has no issue with wearing a dirty nappy, she will occasionally say “done a poo” and will happily get changed if I asked her. She doesn’t hide away to poo. She won’t actually sit on her potty at all. I don’t think she is ready and tbh I’m maybe putting it off cos I do...

Hi all. Has anyone registered their child with a dentist yet? I looked into signing my little up at the practice that I go to, but they said they don't take NHS patients and my little one would have to go private, which looks so expensive. Is this normal for all dentists or should I be able to find a practice that p...

Please someone help me because this is driving me CRAZY!!! So we are potty training, going no diaper.

Anyone’s little one show no interest in the potty or toilet?

I was wondering when people started toilet training? I have started putting my 11month old, she will be one in 4 days, on the toilet before a bath JUST to familiarise her with the toilet (not to get her to wee or poo) and she did her first wee on the toilet this evening. We aren’t planning to toilet train until summ...

9 months old and no sign of teeth with lots of teething here and there since ages. Anyone else in same boat? Wondering if this could be sign of some deficiency?

I brush for a couple of seconds (briefly) before she really will get cross and takes it off me to chew around her mouth for awhile!

Hiya, My 17 month old boy has recently started refusing to have his teeth brushed and I’m at my wits end with what to do, especially as he has a lot of teeth now! Have tried everything from making it fun with songs, changing brushes, watching fun videos about it but he is point blank refusing and throws a huge tan...
