Hi, My 3 month old isn't drinking much of her milk and is playing around with her teat a lot in her mouth. I do think she is teething, but wondered if it could be anything else? We did recently up her teat size and she began to get on really well with the change but now she is back to playing with the teat again.

How do I know when my baby is teething? He’s almost 3 months old but he’s been really fussy the past few days and I’m not sure if he’s teething or not?

Is this a thing bcos my LO has been fine for a couple of month and now just peeing through her clothes. Not even a little bit - I mean a full wee, she’s not stopping herself. She’s been doing this for the last few days

I work with animals and we have a very large boa just now and when we were giving her her oral medication we had a little accident and her tooth scratched my thumb and it bled a lot. I cleaned it straight away with antibacterial soap and then hibiscrub. Kept the pressure on to stop the bleeding and popped a plaster ...

Any tips on brushing a 14 months old’s teeth. He hates when I even attempt to brush his teeth🥲

I know they say boys take longer to potty train but danggggg. My son is 3 and still not potty trained, idk if he’s even close. I need tips pleaseee I feel like everything we tried isn’t working he simply doesn’t care to go on the toilet.

We started potty training last Saturday ands it’s been going fairly well but the last 2 nights she hasn’t done any wee in her nappy overnight and has been waking up earlier to go to the toilet. I wasn’t even going to try potty training overnight for a long while I thought she wouldn’t be ready but it seems that she ...

For those that have started potty training, which one did you like better? The portable potties that actually look like toilets or The kind of potty seat you put on top of an actually normal sized toilet? And why? Also provide brand and link plz :-)

I’m thinking to introduce it after morning wake up and before bath, as I’ve read that’s good time to catch them! But otherwise a bit lost on how to start. I am sure I want to introduce it now though. Any tips/ advice appreciated!

I put a filter on to make it easier to see because the picture is blurry. I’ve noticed there’s two white lines on my son’s gums, which look like teeth. He won’t let me look so it’s hard to tell if his gums are red or swollen, but I don’t think I can feel any sharpness or anything. He’s had rosy cheeks for a while an...

Baby girls cheeks have been flushed for a couple of days now, she’s 7.5 months and doesn’t have any teeth yet! Don’t think it’s slapped cheek as she’s not poorly at all. Thinking it may be teething? Anyone else had this?

Does this look like my keys top tooth could be starting to come though. He has been snotty at night and irritable but no other sign of a cold or illness.

Can you let me know how the first few days of potty training went for you? We are on day 2 and we’ve only had success first thing in the morning when she wakes up and I pop her straight on :) Every other time has been an accident that then we pop her on and the potty catches the last bit… has this been similar f...

My son is 4 in feb. He still wears nappies. When we are at home, and he has nothing on his bottom half, he will use the potty for wees. But as soon as he has pants or clothes on he will wet himself. I don’t know how to stop this and don’t want him wearing nappies anymore, especially before he starts school next ye...

Does anyone else’s baby seem to get a cold when teething? My LO has the past few days been very congested, sneezing runny nose and lots of coughing and over night he’s been sick a few times. But he seems perfectly well in himself, playing nicely and happy. He didn’t do this with his bottom teeth but I think both ...

Hey mummies, My little boy is a few days shy of three months but is showing small signs of teething already. I’ve looked at his little gums and feel like I can see a sign of white pegs under, he’s drooling a lot and has been very irritable the last few nights. Is it too early though? And any recommendations on any t...

My LO has been showing this since a month ago. Is this normal since she's drooling more too??
