6 year old teething

Not sure if my soon to be 6 year old is getting her molar, but seen this early this morning and need advice on what to do or if it's normal before taking her to the dentist. It's like her gum is overlapping her tooth. Every time I floss it bleeds. She complained about it hurting this morning.

Is this a reaction or teething rash?

LO has just cut a tooth through, he's on Kendamil Goat milk but this rash has been around his mouth now for a good while, around a week? Does it look like a reaction to his formula or just from teething dribble?

Best potty books!

I'm getting ready to potty train my daughter and want to get her some books to help! She loves reading, so I'm hopeful that if she has some potty centered books to read as she is sitting, it will help her learn what and why, and pass the time. Any recommendations? Ones to avoid? Thanks!

Any one else's little one totally not ready for potty training?

I honestly don't mind him being in nappies, but I feel like even when he's ready in terms of telling me he needs to poo/wee etc, he's really resistant to change. He likes to pretend to use his potty but it I suggest pulling his pants or nappy down it's a hard no! He has never done nappy free time and always cries to...
