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??

Hi my nephew is 15 and lives with my mother (72) he was adopted and he is really bad. On another level bad. He is already 6’200 pounds. He just wants to stay in room, eat, and play video games. My mom took away his games he refuses to go to school. He threw water and my mom and cops were called. How do we get him to...

So yesterday and today I've noticed that just one of my little boys cheeks is red and hot, is this just teething or do I need to get him looked at? Google isnt very helpful 🤦🏻‍♀️

Does anyone else find it so frustrating to go anywhere like shopping or a day out because there's nowhere to feed or change your baby? Its a 10 minute drive to my town centre and there's only 2 public toilets in the whole town. One in the bus station and one in the shopping centre which are on opposite ends of town ...

recently, my son decided he’s never going to sit still for a diaper change ever again. even when i put the clips on him on the changing table he manages to wiggle around. i’ve tried giving him a toy or my phone, nothing. i put his diaper on him while he stands now, and when he poops i’ve just started rinsing him do...

We are teething, we have both top teeth and a bottom tooth coming in and he does wonderful in the morning and afternoons but something about bed time he fights sleeps so terrible and is in so much pain I’ve tried everything from oral gel to cold cloths to gum massages to teething toys to even trying to tire him out ...

My baby is having a pretty bad teething day. He’s off his feeds and just chomping on my nipple. Has anyone experienced this?

My little boy is currently cutting molars and his poo has been horrific. He’s also got such a bad nappy rash from it bless him. Everywhere I look online says teething poos aren’t a thing!

On hold with 111. Any idea what this could be? Looks too bad to be teething? On hold with 111 to see if we should be going to A&E

Does anyone have any advice for what to do if your toddler is sitting on the potty at school and he actually pees but when he gets home, he refuses to even sit on the potty and just wets himself instead. And afterward says 'diaper' to me. I feel like we are digressing at home and negating the success that daycare i...

Wondering when I should start potty training

Needing some tips on how to help my little dude get over these 3 teeth that are coming through! He already has two but they appeared out of nowhere and had absolutely no issue at all with them - but now his top teeth 3 of them are trying to break the gum at once and it’s been absolutely horrendous! At the momen...

I’ve seen a few posts about potty’s and wondered how you know when your little one’s ready ? My daughter doesn’t say any words yet but she has a good understanding of what’s going on. Also do you use the pull up pants or nappy ?

I have a 3 year old who is freshly potty trained. He goes pee on the potty just fine, picked it up within 2 weeks. But he refuses to poop on the potty unless he’s naked. If he isn’t wearing any type of underwear/pants/pull up he will poop on the potty no problem. But if he is wearing anything he will go hide in a co...
