one of my biggest fears has been my baby catching cold sores as it’s stuck for life and i’d feel terrible, me and her dad have never had one and also very funny about kissing her mouth just in case even tho never had them ourselves as i’m just so worried about her getting one. She’s now got this little spot, is it o...

Hey 👋 my little girl is 14 months and in size 7 nappies… am I being thick but I cannot see any that do size 8 😂 she’s in Sainsbury’s pull ups, panicking what happens if she grows a size, am I to start potty training now?! 😂🫣 thanks x

How are people planning on potty training and when? I have no idea where to start. My son probably isn’t ready just yet but I want to be prepared! Thanks.

Hi guys! My baby is 10 weeks old and seems to constantly be unsettled, we’ve tried everything to try settle her but sometimes it just isn’t enough. Can 10 week old babies be teething or is that too early?! She constantly has her fists in her mouth even after a full feed so unsure if this is a sign or if she’s just a...

My little one has come down with chicken pox! Any tips of how to keep him comfortable?

We are on day 2 of potty training and he’s doing really well. No wee accidents today 🎉 He’s just done a poo accident though where he started to poo in his pants, ran to the toilet but then wouldn’t sit on it and when he eventually did sit on the potty he didn’t finish his poo. Any tips on encouraging them to poo…

Hi all, we're finding potty training tough at the moment as our little one doesn't like the potty even when I show her favourite toys on them or showing her our toilet etc....when I ask her does she need potty she says no but then does it in her nappy..she says I do not want potty... she is starting nursery Septembe...

Does anyone have any advice or ideas on how to break teeth through? My baby girl is 8 months old and still doesn’t have any teeth. She chews on things here and there and drools a lot but she hasn’t really shown any other signs or I don’t really know what to look for. I’m just worried because all the books I’ve read ...

How & when did you potty train your child? My son turned 2 recently and I'd love to get him potty trained. I appreciate any tips and advice that helped you! Thanks in advance. ❤

I’m actually at a loss when it comes to potty training. Where do you even start? Any tips and tricks? When to start? I don’t want to leave it too late, he’s great at communicating but never tells me when he’s done a wee or poo as he hates getting his nappy changed

Does anyone have any tips on potty training? Our little boy has done the odd wees on the pot but if you ask him he has a melt down! Really struggling as we both work full time so have booked a week off just before his birthday to master it.

hello mums! have you introduced potty to your baby? I was wondering if any of you did, I can predict the poop time most of the time, so thinking about starting 🙄

Ok so I know I’m in the wrong but feeling so frustrated. My 2 year old is in the middle of potty training - hasn’t had a poop accident in about a month (always tells us he has to go). Peeing he won’t tell us (maybe the odd time) but if we remind him every hour/ hour and a half he will go and we will have no accident...

Hi, I have a March 2023 baby and am thinking about starting potty training soon but not sure which approach to take. TIA

My little boy is 9 days old and I really haven’t got the hang of changing his nappy yet without him weeing all over himself 😅 I feel like I change his clothes a million times a day Becuase he wees all over his back when I’m changing him. Has anyone got any useful tips or tricks? I’ve heard that you can wet below…

My daughter is about to be 2.5 years old and I think she’s ready. I have no clue where to start though, I need advice! When you started potty training did you take your toddler to the bathroom every 2 hours then reward them some how when they were successful? I’m so nervous!

My little one is nearly 9 months old and no teeth to be seen🫣 I feel like he’s been teething since birth……he is dribbling has been fussy for a couple of days eating hands or anything in site should I be worried or

I keep telling myself that it’s too early but my son can now identify when he’s pee’ing. (He’s been able to say number 2 for a while now). So when he’s pee’ing he’ll point to his crotch and say ‘wee wee is coming’. I’m thinking what else am I waiting for lol? I know if you start before they’re ready, it’s frustrat...

What age are babies supposed to go to the dentist? I've been trying to find a local one since my daughter started getting teeth at 6.5 months and it's literally impossible. I also need to find one for myself at the same time as I haven't been since I was 5, I'm nearly 28! Ideally I'd like to find one before my mat...

Reposting as I didn’t get a reply on the last one x My girl is 9 months in a week with no teeth whatsoever but showing all the signs. Does this look like the beginning of teething and if so how long after this stage can I expect a tooth? ☺️
