Has anyone’s babies started teething? My baby girl is 12 weeks and has been chewing on her fists, drooling, biting my nipple during feeds - are these teething signs or a developmental thing?

LG has been so different for well over a week, FTM so not sure if these are teeth?

After a few accidents on the bedroom carpet (literally held his willy and ran into the corner to have a wee), we decided to get little one a potty a couple of days ago as everyone kept saying he is ready. We are still working on getting him to have a wee in it but hopefully will happen soon. Anyone else potty training?

There will be 18m.gap between my two boys. Second is due early Jan. I'm excited but nervous, I'm worried I will flap and show I can't cope well. Any tips and advice much appreciated..ie weighing up do we get our son now to potty train before Baba arrives, do we get him sleeping in bed instead of cot before he arrive...

My 8 month old has been chewing on the side of the crib railing. I didn't realize this until I noticed paint was chipped off from the railing. What products/solutions have worked for you to both protect your baby's teeth and the crib?

Someone did really good at her first dentist appointment today so she got a new toy afterwards. Anyone else do this for their kiddos when they do really good at an appointment?

We’ve started potty training today and so far my daughter has had 9 accidents and not once gone on the potty (despite sitting on it for half of the day). Has anyone had this and then continued and been successful? Or do you think I should give up? When I ask her if we should put her nappy back on she says no and tha...

My daughter had this pop up is it just from teething? She’s gonna be 15 months the 8th.

He’s been potty trained since he was 3 rarely had accidents. Now he’s 5 , new school . And all a sudden 2 days last week he peed on himself . One time the teacher saw and the other she didn’t see because he was wearing black . He told he he felt ashamed so he didn’t move from his seat . I asked him why did he ha...

My 2yr 8mo old LG refuses to go on the potty or wear “big girl underpants”…she will tell us when she’s going 1 or 2 and asked to be changed immediately after, but whenever I tell her “oh great, you’re doing poopy! Let’s go on the potty!” She says “nooo!” And gets like, legit upset if I try to urge it more. I recentl...

We have never ever had a poop accident but still a couple of months on having daily wee ones all through he will use the potty for wees and let me know most the time but he’s still having a couple or few wet accidents a day and sometimes doesn’t tell me he’s wet himself

My daughter is happy to sit in knickers all day, she’ll go and sit on the potty but not for a long period of time. She’ll wipe herself as though she’s been to the toilet and will put the tissue in the toilet and flush then wash her hands etc but won’t actually release her wee. She knows when she needs to have one an...

LO has been a nightmare and now I’m wondering is this teeth? FTM here so I have no idea on things!

Can l have some tips on how to get things going? Do they wear underwear?? How often do l take him to the toilet

Has anyone else experience anything like this? My little boy has been in pants this week (8 days now) and aside from the first couple of days, he has been dry in the day. But yesterday I noticed his penis was a bit red in the morning and by the afternoon it was really swollen and he is quite upset by it as it’s o...

My little boy has a cold and is teething ( 4 teeth coming through at the same time) and he just seems so upset especially at night time - we have Olblis oil and calpol and keeping him warm and loads of cuddles. Is there anything anyone recommends for either teething and/or a cold too? Thanks x

I noticed that my lo really gets worked up when she wants to fart or poo. Any advice on what I can do to help?

Day 1 today, v successful! One small accident before bathtime, rest in potty. No poo, as expected. For day 2 should I pop on pants or wait another full day or more? And should we stay in or venture out round the block for a quick walk?

Hello! My 19 month old is showing interest in potty training, he's done a couple of wees on potty, he says potty just before he poos quite often, and mostly waking up dry from his daytime nap. My little girl didn't potty training until 2 and a half years, so 19 months seems too early for me... But I don't know, ma...
