Could it be teething?

My son is 5 months old and really struggling with his teeth! We have tried Ashton and parsons teething powder an gel, calpol, teething toys and nothing helps… What have you found has helped your babies the most?!

Help! Is this a teething rash? Currently dealing with allergies with my 9 month old and she’s had this dryness and redness around her mouth sort of wrinkly and I haven’t been able to figure it out and figured I’d ask here. I’ve been to 3 different doctors for skin and allergies but this is new ish

Do the gums get like purple? My daughter has been with swollen gums (molars) for about a month, extremely fussy (which I assume painful) and yesterday I noticed the gums are now a purple dark shade. That’s so odd!!!!!! Is that normal?

My oldest has been waking up dry more often than not. When did you know your kiddo was ready to go diaper free at night?

Mine has little lumps and red gums so I'm assuming it's teeth coming through? How else do you tell theres teeth coming? As someone said my baby has 5 coming through but I can only see the 3 lumps

Whenever I take my daughter’s nappy off to change it, she stands up & pees on the floor, she points to it & says wee wee. She also tells me when she’s having a “poo-poo”. She’s only 17 months though 🤔

I feel like I know the answer to this but just need some reassurance. When LO two bottom teeth came in she didn’t lose her appetite a ridiculous amount. But she was on less solids then so maybe I didn’t notice so much. A few of her top teeth are coming in and imagine more painful. But she is right off her solids a...

Hey ladies! So story first- my son has been telling me when he pees and poops because he wants to be changed so I went ahead and got him pull ups, one day I change him and run off and come back and hes peeing on the floor, I tell him no- toilet/potty. Few days later while lotioning after a bath he says pee pee and t...

Hello :) please would someone help. My lo only goes to nursery once a week but we find they are very eager to send her home. It feels weekly at the moment.. I appreciate if she is poorly but once it was because she just wasn’t herself and they thought it was teething ? Today because loose stools and slight temp but ...

My little boy has started wanting to poop in private. Has anyone’s started doing this? Have you started potty training?

I need advice! my son started potty training late summer last year and we have finally got him to start having poos on the potty and the toilet-only at home.He will wee on the toilet out of the house and at nursery but he will not poo on the potty or the toilet at nursery or say in a toilet if we are out of the hous...

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!
