Explosive poop & nappy leaking

My daughter decides to do a poop everytime she’s in the car seat. Most of the time it’s explosive and comes out the sides/or front and back.

Teething gels that actually work???

He’s so upset most of the day and yesterday was the first time where teething pain actually affected his sleep, he could not sleep until about 4 am after I gave him some Tylenol.

Teething gel and granules using longer than 7 days

Anyone using teething gels and granules for longer than 7 days? Little one is none stop teething! We started with Calpol for ages every night and came across the gel and granules. He will bite and chew on anything other than actual teething toys so I don't think they're helping.

What to wear in bed when potty trained....

Might be an odd question, but my little one is pretty much dry through the night now and we are going to ditch the nappies altogether. What should she wear instead under her pajamas? Knickers? Or nothing?! I don't know 🤣

Has anyone tried the method of normal underwear and a pull up on top when potty training?
