Potty training

I need help! My daughter will tell me when she has to go pee without accidents if we are in public but doesn't tell me anything when we are at home and refuses to go #2 at all in the potty. I feel like a natural in every aspect of parenting her except for potty training I feel stuck.

3 month old teething?

I don’t know my newborn seems to be showing signs of teething? Isn’t it too early? She’s got that rash on her chin, she’s doing this weird thing with her lips where it’s like she’s tryna suck on them she’s clearly having some discomfort. She’s not too interested in feeding and sucking on her hand.

We have tried multiple times and the aggression (toward herself and others) we are met with is so hard to manage. For reference she has very limited language and ...
