Pooping on the toilet…

My daughter is nearly 3.5 years old and has been potty trained for 6 months now. However she would still rather poop in her pants than on the toilet. Is this normal? My eldest daughter was not like this. Any tips to help conquer this habit? 😬

Teething

Is it normal for a baby to spend weeks in great pain for many hours a day due to teething and still not have a tooth out? Mine has been doing this for 3 weeks and there is still no sign of tooth out.

Teeth

My baby girl has still only got one tooth, should I be concerned? I can feel other teeth under her gums but they’re just not appearing. It feels like she’s been teething forever but with no teeth to show for it 😔
