My son is almost 18 months old but he has been ripping his diapers off constantly. Is it time to start potty training him? I know it’s kind of early but he already knows that when I have to go potty I go to the bathroom and he will follow.

I’m so proud of my little girl. We’ve been on and off potty training for the last couple months but today it seems to have just stuck. She did all her wees in her potty today and a poo, all unprompted without any reminders. I’ve cancelled my plans tomorrow to stay home and continue, but I’m back on work on Tuesday...

Does anyone know if my month old daughter gums look okay?

Hey ladies, my 4 month old cries A LOT, he will play for a short period of time, is fed/nappy changed etc but still cries and screams. A lot of people are saying he is teething but I don’t see or feel any teeth coming through his gums. I am overly exhausted and frustrated because I do not know why he cries like this...

Hi boy mama’s! So I made the decision not to circumcise my son, yesterday night I noticed the tip of his pp is really red and maybe a little swollen.

Hello mums! What were your first signs of teething? Is it too early to buy a teether for my 4 month old? Thank you!

Here for some advice! My LO (16mo) has a serious teeth brushing issue she hates it, won’t entertain doing it herself so we do it for her but she really gets upset. We brush for less than a minute every time as she literally just rolls off or runs away and gets so hysterical. But while we do brush we try our best to...

Anyone’s child still not potty trained? My daughter will be 2 & half in December and still not potty trained, every time I get the potty out it’s like she’s scared of it🥴🥴 Any tips/advice?

Are your babies starting teething? Symptoms?

Does anyone know what this is? It started when I was a few weeks pregnant; hurts after i brush so i’ve avoided doing it for a week or two. it’s like a black hole or something

So my son is 3 and he started PPCD and we started potty training some before school. Well he has/had a problem with dribbling. Now recently he is straight peeing through everything. He won’t tell us he needs to potty or give any sign he just does it. I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t know what to do other than t...

Can you guys explain to me your teeth brushing regimen? When do you do it? Twice a day? How long? Before or after their night time milk? I have not been good about it at all and now there’s literally tartar on his teeth and I’m panicking and am starting a strict twice a day regimen, but i usually do it before the ni...
