Has anyone mastered getting their toddler to poo on potty. My little girl is potty trained with wees no accidents in months and only wears a nappy for bed. But she will not poo at all she's not pood in days and I can't find a way to get her to do it.

My little boy is now teething quite a lot at 10 months and we can see lots of his top teeth coming through. But teethers just don’t seem to do the job at the moment. He just throws them after a few bits and is trying to bite anything and everything. He bites his bed frame, paper and card if he gets his hands on it, ...

Hi, can anyone recommend any teething products, we are using the Ashton and parsons teething gel and power, and occasionally Nurofen if she is really unsettled, also some teething toys but nothing seems to be fully helping, so horrible seeing your LO in discomfort! Thank you!

Currently on maternity leave with my second and want to have my first potty trained before I go back to work . Any tips ?

He’s not in pain anymore and seems to be fine. However I’m dying, his sweet little smile is all broken and his words have a little lisp now. It’s too late to call a dentist. I don’t know what to do

Need some tried and tested advice! Girl has been toilet trained since early August, the odd accident here and there, never done a number 2 accident (very luckily) but at nursery she’s started to regress and I’m at a loss with what to do. She keeps going into the toilet with staff, they then give her privacy, even h...

My little one has two bottom teeth and I’ve noticed that all four top incisors are coming through at the same time 😩😩. I’m currently giving paracetamol, ibuprofen and Ashton and parsons powder as well as home remedies like cold fruit and veg, spring onions and teething toys but nothing seems to be giving long term…

What are you doing?

My baby only 1 and I didn’t want to potty train her so fast, but she’s showing signs she’s ready😮‍💨😮‍💨

Nearing the end of day 3 and I have had many a cry myself never mind my daughter. I can’t see much progress she still runs behind a curtain to pee/poo, she’s pooed in her knickers today and done a full on wee and doesn’t seem to care?? The thing is I’m due my 2nd baby in 8 weeks and she also starts nursery within a ...

Help! We've been potty training for months now and my LO is fine when he is naked from the waist down with no accidents but as soon as we put pants and trousers on he doesn't seem to care about being wet and having accidents and almost thinks it's funny. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all, has anyone experienced/ seen their newborn chittering/ shaking there jaws (as if they are cold) but ive checked temp and is all okay. Should i be worried?

My son will be 2 in March and wondering when we should start potty training? How do I know when he is ready? And how do we start? We got him a potty and he will sometimes sit on it (with his diaper on) while I am using the restroom and he says, “potty.” It has a pretend flusher on it that makes the sound so he will ...

Hi Girls, Maybe a silly question but I went to touchwood today and needed the loo but had baby and pram with me... I went to the baby changing by John lewis but there seemed to be no cubicles... How do I navigate this? Would I fit into the disabled loo with the pram? Do I need to make sure I'm near a baby changing /...

Sorry if this has been talked about already. Im so bad at finding specific posts. I’m a FTM so I have no Idea what to do. He’s been showing little signs here and there, but this weekend was bad. He was in so much discomfort. Sticking his hands in his mouth aggressively, not wanting his soft pacifier, crying so hard...

we started yesterday - does anyone have any estimate on how long it'll be until we can start going out and doing things as normal? i know every kid is different but would love to hear experiences!

Ok, so I had to take my 3-year-old old son to the doctor this past week because he hadn't pooped for a week. The doctor pulled out a poop that was blocking everything else and had me run him to the toilet where he pooped quite a bit, but now that was Wednesday. He still won't poop. She said he was holding it, which ...

Honestly my baby is the whingy fussy baby and has been ‘teething’ for way over a month and a half, I honestly can’t do this anymore what should I do? He’s extreme every day
