My little one is going to be 5 months next week and she has been the most chill little girl from day one. However, over the last week she has been extremely fussy and unable to be entertained 😢 She is chewing on everything and drooling but she won't let me have a good look to see if she's actually teething yet!…

Hi all, I am stressed, my 3 yr old is getting potty train from almost month and she's still having accidents sometimes she sits by herself but most of the time we have to tell her and she does it and another time she's having accidents if we forgot to ask her (though we did keep tell her, for wee or poo need to go t...

Anyone given calpol beyond 3 days without talking to a doctor? Been giving one small dose a day for about 10 days as little one is teething and got a cold and didn't realise until today that to box advises not to!

So my husband is off work for 2 weeks over Xmas so we’re going to try potty training our boy. My LO knows when he needs a poo as he tells us to leave the room and he needs ‘2 minutes’ 😂. Any tips on how to tell him to go for a wee in the potty? Should we stay in for a few days and just keep his pants off? I…

I want to take my 3.5 year old to the dentist, just so we can start to build a positive relationship. I have heard of happy visits. I called one place for a happy visit, and the receptionist said that my son will get a full cleaning and xrays. And I will not be allowed in back with him. I understand they are profess...

How are we dealing with our teething babies? My baby is 15w and has been teething for a while now but it has gotten worst in the last 2 days .

So frustrated. LO has been showing signs of teething since he was about 3/4 months old. However, for the past week its been different. Drooling, fussiness, loss of appetite, sleep disrupted, wakes up crying, rash on face, chewing everything etc. But there's still no tooth! Google said it should take a week to cut ...

My daughter is 4 in March. She goes to a pre school with 2,3 and 4 year olds twice a week. The staff at pre school don’t really talk to parents at handover, the children just come out the door and we leave. Anyway, today I’ve picked my daughter up and on the way home she mentioned that she wet herself whilst playing...

My LB has never had nappy rash before but the last 2 days he seems to have got it 😔 would it be to do with him teething? His diet obviously hasn't changed and he's not been ill, haven't swapped nappy brands or changed the brand of wipes we use... Just seems very sudden

Does it look like that top tooth is coming in? No middle top teeth yet so I’m not sure.. I feel like I see something but it’s hard to get a good look lol

So I think my LG has started teething! She’s 9 weeks, will be 10 weeks on Monday! She’s got a load of saliva all the time, she’s trying to chew on everything and when I feel her bottom gum at the front I can feel something hard and sharp! Surely this is her teething? But I thought she was far too young? Any help...

My son woke up SCREAMING tonight and the past couple of nights I don’t know what’s going on with him and he’s completely inconsolable. I don’t know what to do I’m lost and I hate seeing him like this it breaks my heart. I’ve just been giving him a cup of milk and he has been going back to sleep but I would like to k...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a training potty that is better for taller toddlers? I don’t want her to use a toilet seat attachment just yet.

My toddler has done amazing with doing wees on the toilet and has no accidents anymore, however we can’t seem to get him to do poops on the toilet. He is willing to sit on there for couple mins and says it’s not coming and ends up doing it in his pants. Any tips please it’s been over a month now 😭

I’d like to hear from anyone who has a kid who is reluctant to potty train and what you did to convince them! Before his birthday we tried for a weekend and he cried every time we put him on a potty. It felt like we were making it more traumatising and he probably just wasn’t ready. We’ve waited until now and ha...

How do you know if your LO has started teething? My LO is usually a happy little thing, but today she has screamed the house down non-stop. I’ve never experienced anything like it. She’s been eating her hands all day and nothing will console her. Is this teething and does anyone have any advice??

my baby girls due date is today and idk how to get her moving out. I have been laying down alot because of my joint pain but besides that I don't know what I'm doing wrong. the scheduled a stress test and ultra sound to see if she's OK but I'd rather her just come out I really don't want to be induced

my lo is 6 minths and 2 weeks. We have 2 bottom teeth out and 2 top lateral incisions teeth popping out. I would of though central ones first but doesnt seem to be in order x

We are 8 days into potty training and my daughter is doing amazing. Only had 3 accidents and goes by herself and doesn't have to be reminded/asked to go. However I'm concerned with the frequency of use. We had a family member visit and said she was using the toilet a lot (I hadn't noticed as I was more concerned wit...
