Anyone else’s LO get a really sore red face when teething?? He can wake up with it and no sign of it the night before. I’ve got no idea what to put on it or how to help him as he’s constantly itching it. We use expert midwife dribble cream and a few eczema creams but nothing seems to help it. Appreciate any remedie...

Is your little one night time potty trained?

So my daughter aggressively tries to eat her blankets…. Is it Normal

My 22 month old's daycare is closed this upcoming week, and we've been planning for months to use this time to potty train. It's a bit earlier than I would really like to do, but she gets chronic diaper rash - Since November, we haven't been able to clear it up for more than a week. We've tried sitz baths, different...

I’ve noticed that my little girl has a few what I’m assuming to be mosquito bites on her body (will put more photos in the comment). Is this something to be concerned about? She isn’t showing any side effects, she’s got a bit of a snotty nose but that’s not uncommon? Is it something to keep an eye on?

I'm a first-time mom with an almost 7 month old baby, and I'm not against medicine, I'll use it, but this sounded excessive to me. I recently hired a nanny. She said that she's using gripe water, probiotic drops, and oral gel, all of them every day sometimes twice a day with my baby for the last month. She comes thr...

So this sound petty but I’m at my white end with dad and his girlfriend! They always have to be the ones to say ‘it happened with us’ or ‘we did it with him first’ like dad knows I was booking to take him to Lego land at Christmas and my LB is desperate to go so I wanted to be the one to take him and for it to be su...

My baby popped 2 bottom teeth about 3 weeks ago and over the past few days he’s been very fussy, sooky, I’m now drying my milk up as he prefers formula bottles, and won’t let ANYONE hold him besides me and dad. A few days ago I thought his top gums looks swollen but didn’t think anything of it. Yesterday at a fam...

I know this don’t have nothing to do with baby daddy drama or anything like this, but I really need some help my twins Kimani and jo jr is about to be two years old this year December 5. I’m trying to potty trying both of them but nothing seems to work like I tried telling her let Mommy 🤰🏽👩🏽‍🍼 know when you have…

My little one is 3 and a half months and we think he’s starting to teethe. When you look at his gums, you can see the outlines of the teeth but none are cutting through. We think they’re on the move though as he is constantly chomping on his hand and anything else he can get his hands on, he’s dribblier than usual, ...

We’v been putting this off for a while but she’s more than ready to start. She knows what a toilet and a potty is and knows what you do on them. She’s always been willing to sit on her potty ( with clothes on) and has been copying other children at nursery. Today has been the first day we started and she’s almost ...

Hi ladies need advice really wirh my little one, she is 5 months old, her bum is sore, we regularly change her we haven’t changed nappies just the sizing haven’t changed wipes as she always been fine on them and sometimes I use cotton and water too, I let her air out as well and have naked time, baths aren’t ever t...

Ugh I’ve honestly had enough, we have a toddler and it’s so irresponsible!! I’ve just walked into our bedroom and she’s standing there holding two snus pouches! If I didn’t walk in soon enough I can’t even imagine what she would have done, my partner does it so much that she knows they go in your mouth. I’ve mention...

We only started yesterday but she’s had only one accident even stopping from engaged play to run to the potty. This afternoon I’ve added knickers and we’ve had 3 accidents within an hour. Help please!!!

Anyone just hate their child when feeling burnt out ! Like everything they do just irritates you . My LG is 14 months. She’s been getting over croup this past week and I’m just so over it . Along with the biting as she’s teething ( EBF) and not eating/ throwing food on the floor etc

I am really struggling with potty training and finding something that works! My LO knows what a potty & toilet are, she knows when she has done a wee/poo, sits on the potty and even puts her baby doll on their mini potty - but I cannot seem to get her to tell me when she needs to go! I have tried just putting her on...

i still haven't started i find the thought just so overwhelming!!!

Looking for some advice on how to train my nearly 3 year old long side looking after a newborn . We tried before he was born but she wasn’t ready

My LO often grabs her ear. I’ve seen her when she is eating, playing, etc. She’s not teething. Does your LO do this also? What causes have you concluded?

I’m being a bit dramatic but nappy changes have become really hard. It doesn’t help that my LO now has multiple big poos a day that sometimes leak since he started nursery and is trying different food. The main issue is that he constantly wants to move and roll while I’m changing him and then his hand will end up in...
