How do people deal with poo in pull ups?

Anyone know of any taking new patients? It’s been a year since I’ve been as I moved this way end of last year. I’d also like to register my 9 month old? Can anyone recommend a dentist I’m near Barham but can travel around surrounding areas?

I moved end of last year so have been looking for a new dentist as it’s now been a year since I last went, I know NHS dentists seem impossible to get now so I was previously private but ideally I want to get my LO into a NHS one. She literally only got her first tooth 2 weeks ago but now has 3 so thought probably b...

My 6 month old baby girl went to my mums yesterday for the night and she told me she had given her chocolate. I am so angry as I have specifically asked her to not give her chocolate and she did it anyway. It is safe to say my mum will not be having her again after this. I wanted to make sure she will be ok as I kno...

Any tips for how to stop baby boy weeing all over himself during nappy changes?

My son turned 3 in September and we’ve been trying to potty train since he was around 2.5 years old. He just doesn’t want to do it. He understands he has to use the potty, but he just refuses to. We sit him on the potty in the morning, before/after meals, before/after nap, and before bed. Sometimes he just holds it...

Does anyone else still have this issue? Mine won't spit the toothpaste out and it's worrying

my 10 week old has suddenly become very drooly, constantly chewing her fist or my shoulder, has become very fussy especially around feeding, has randomly been crying out like she's in pain for but no apparent reason, and her sleep has been pretty bad both day and night. it seems super early but could she be teething??

We never used potty’s for ...
