Should I be brushing her teeth???

Hey all! I want to start potty training but no idea on how to get going with it.. any suggestions? My little girl has just turned 17 months.. not sure if it’s too early but want to start introducing it xx

How was everyone’s experience with the pessary ?

(I don’t have the best photo of it😅) But I have noticed this white spot on my daughter’s gums and I’m not sure what it is and where it has came from. There doesn’t seem to be a tooth coming through there (She’s never showed any signs of teething at almost 8 months old🥲). Does anybody know what this is?

So my son is 3 just got potty trained so he's more aware of himself. He gets a little hard on sometimes and doesn't like it. What can I do to tell him to make it better? Anyone else experience this before? He's my first and only boy. Thank you in advance.

My little girl is nearly 3, she has no interest in the potty at the moment, I let her run around at night before bath and try to coax her to sit on there. I even put a book there and sit her toys on there, but she shouts I don't want the potty. What is the best to do? Shall I try her with our toilet seat and put the...

My son only has 2 teeth, they took about 3/4months to cut and then took a further 5 months to grow fully, his top 2 teeth have been swollen for about 6 months now but not cut, he’s got a forever teething rash! He’s 15 months should o be worried about how long his teeth are taking to come through?

Does this look like slapped cheek or teething cheeks?😭😭 she’s fine in herself she’s had a cold for past week but now just snotty nose has been teething no temp smiling away!

I’ll be alone with my toddler and an 8 month old. 🫣I hope this isn’t gonna be brutal but I feel it probably will be lol

Is anyone potty training yet? I feel we should start soon as he’s showing signs but not sure if it’s too early.

Could teething start at 11 weeks? She’s been more bitey on the breast and suddenly started drooling more and more the last couple of days

Never been so chuffed in my life, put little lady on the potty this morning and she did a wee!

My son has started crying uncontrollably since 12:30pm today. He cried for an hour non stop, out of the blue. I thought he was hungry so tried giving him lunch but that caused further upset so I stopped. He had some milk (2oz) and fell asleep for an hour. He's woken up and is crying again like he did before. Shoul...

What symptoms have your babies shown? All symptoms for my LO are pointing to teething. Ear pulling, rash on cheek, etc. Did your LOs also have runny noses?

My almost 3 year old keeps taking off her clothes including her diaper. She’s potty trained during the day and nap time but she still wears a diaper at night. She starts crying in the middle of the night I go there and see her naked. I think what wakes her is peeing on herself. This has been happening for 2 weeks. N...
