Cavities

His dentist said he saw them forming months ago and that he might need to have them filled after he was two. They said it was from breastfeeding, i immediately st...

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..

Hey, odd question and I realise all little ones are different but just wondered how often your little ones are going for a wee? I feel like my lg is going less now and wondered if it's because she is able to store it better..or if she isn't drinking enough 🤔

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.

Teething

What are signs of teething in 4 month old? My baby drools a lot and gnaws on her hands all the time, but I thought that could also be a sign of just exploring their hands? Shes going through sleep regression as well so I can’t figure if its teething, sleep regression, both?

Refusal?

My 3 year old has been having behaviour problems for a while but has been manageable. This week I have stayed calm as I can see he’s frustrated but I cannot change his nappy, he’s suddenly decided he is in charge of everything and if I try change his nappy he bites and kicks and I can’t get it on.
