Are these teeth coming? She’s 5 months old and has been teething for what feels like forever 😆

Hello! Looking to start potty training my boy in the next month or so. Have already decided I’m not using a potty but going to try the toilet first instead with a seat and steps. Just looking for some advice and tips on where to start? My boy tells me when he’s done a poo but not a pee? How do I know if he’s actuall...

On how to encourage using the toilet? I’m thinking of giving a sticker every time they tell me they need it, what has worked for you? I’m just starting on potty training. Tia

Anyone else’s baby not had any teeth through yet? Just under 7 months and he seems to be showing all the signs, dribbling, hands in mouth, wanting to eat everything including all his toys etc 🤣

We are on no nappy at all during the day only wearing the one at night and is going really well no accidents for a week now, but on Monday he will resume nursery again and I’m unsure on what to do , any advise ...

Hi! Has anyone started potty training yet and has any advice or tips? Thanks 😊

Is there anyone potty training yet? I want to start but don't know start. Any suggestions, please?

My LO is teething and whatever I give him is not doing ANYTHING. He’s 4 months & 1/2. I tried Dr. Talbots soothing gel, orajel cooling gel and hyland’s oral pain relief but I might as well give him water. I give him Tylenol at night time but I don’t know what else I can do. I’m also giving him the water filled teeth...

I’m having an absoloute nightmare potty training my son. I don’t even know where to begin. We’ve tried a few times now and the latest time he just held his wee all day which ofcourse worried us. He can’t seem to communicate that he needs the toilet. Was really hoping he’d be on the way by now. Any one with a child w...

My 4 month old son has a tooth popping through , he has been crying like crazy and barely sleeping. We gave him gripe water and teething toys but it doesn’t seem to help much. Any suggestions to help ease the pain?

My daughter is only 2 but she loves the potty. She will sit there all day and as soon as she pees she says potty and runs to the bathroom. However no amount of sitting there makes her want to pee. I think the few times she has peed on the potty was by accident. Despite the excitement and praise she can't go ON the p...

Hi ladies - just wondering if you think this is the corner of a tooth? I thought so but it has been like this for about a fortnight now is that normal? Thank you

So we’ve done 5 days of potty training following the oh crap book and not sure whether it is going well or not. First couple of days we did bare bum and we got a few prompted pees and some putting on potty mid pee. He even sat on the potty himself and did a pee! We have put trousers on the last 3 days. The 3rd day...

Anyone else’s LO started biting? What are y’all doing to stop this? Mines got 7 teeth and she’s leaving bruises🤦🏼‍♀️

My three year old boy is fully potty trained, my 5 year old son.... he will only poo in a nappy I feel like I've tried everything apart from refusing him a nappy. I don't want to refuse and him hold it and end up with tummy troubles but I don't know what else I can do???

I need advice. I started potty training my 2 year 3 month old around 18 months old very casually. She showed all signs of readiness. I started putting her in underwear about a month or so ago at home and she was always doing amazingly and was excited.... until she spends the day/one night at her dad's. Then everythi...

My son is 3.5 and not remotely close !

My son is walking and down to one nap a day. He takes to things easily and is so smart. He has a tell-tell sign when he’s about to 💩. I’m not saying it’ll be easy but I have the urge to start potty training.

Little one is showing signs of being ready to potty train, has anyone else started?

My baby boy is only 2 months and 2 weeks old, 3 months in January. His tongue is white on top, and I'm not sure when we should be brushing his mouth. He's not teething right now, but he has formula breathe and a pink with white on top tongue. Any advice will be welcomed, and thanks ahead of time.
