Potty training—stuck

My daughter has really stopped wanting to use her kid potty at home for some reason when she used to love it, and us now doing better at daycare instead (probably because she sees other kids using it there). Any tips on how to get her interested at home again? Treats aren’t working

Teething 10 month old

My 10 1/2 month old baby seemed to be teething and drooling since about 4 months. He still seems to be teething but no sign of teeth coming anytime soon. Should I be concerned ? I’ve seen babies 5/6 month old with 2/4 teeth and I’m just worried. I know all babies are different.

Is it OK to clean teeth before GD test?!?!

I know you have to fast but when you clean your teeth you don't swallow or consume anything so surely it's safe?! I hate leaving the house without cleaning my teeth!! Happy to hear all opinions. No mention of teeth brushing on my information form, just specifies no chewing gum. 🤷‍♀️🤔😂
