My 5mo is really really upset with teething at the moment and all that settles him is calpol or sleep. Any other recommendations please mummas? He gets bored of teethers in about 5 minutes and the same with breastmilk lollies x

Potty training regression

My eldest has been potty trained since August. She took to it really quickly with the 3 day method, barely any accidents. She’d been happy to take herself off to the potty without prompting for a couple of months, but this last month or so she’s been having an accident nearly every day. I find myself having to promp...

My baby is 7.5 months old but has no teeth yet. She has been showing teething signs since 3 months old but there is nothing yet. There’s nothing emerging on her gums either. Should i be worried?

Bad breath

OMG my boys breath is so smelly! We have always brushed his teeth twice per day, he doesn’t eat junk. But the past few days his breath has been disgusting. Does anyone know what this could be?

Sleep

My 14 month old is teething her molars. The red is how often she woke me up lastnight. It’s been going on for a week or so. Should I take her in or do you guys think it’s her teething?

Teething already?!?!

My little one has started chewing her hands and fingers. At first we thought she just discovered them but she’s also become a little restless and pulls a button at her right ear. Could the little white bump be a tooth? My husband thinks it’s far too early for teething - she’d only 3 months tomorrow. If it is any tip...

Not Potty Trained Yet

I thought about posting incognito but screw it, maybe this post will help someone else. My 3 yo is still in diapers. Whenever I change him, I ask him if he feels wet or dirty so that he starts associating the sensations with the words, but he won’t tell me when he’s gone. Maybe 30% of the time he’ll tell me about ...

Toilet training!

HELP ME. I’ve just decided to toilet train my LB. When he wore nappies he’d tell me when he’s done a wee/poo but since he’s had no nappies on he isn’t saying anymore. I take him to the toilet very frequently and it’s hit and miss, I feel like he’s holding his wee in because he can go HOURS without an accident. I kno...

8 month old lost tooth

My baby has been teething and I noticed his barely there tooth looked like it was dangling off, which it was. It bled very little and not it’s gone. He didn’t cry and his gums don’t seem swollen. Should I be more concerned about his tooth not growing back?
