I have no idea where to start with potty training. Don’t know why, I’m so nervous about it. Anyone else in same boat and don’t have a clue where to start? Nursery said wait until she is 2 and gets moved up a class and they will help. Should I try doing anything at home before hand? X

Can anyone recommend any good ones?

My son would normally be in bed around 7-8ish. It is 9pm and he is still wide awake screaming in pain. I just assumed it was because he is currently teething, I’ve given him some calpol earlier and then noticed this on his cheek. Does anyone know what it could be? I was thinking it’s a bruise from when he is crawlin...

Can you toilet train a child not yet communicating?

We have started the journey of potty training today. If anyone has any advice or tips feel free to let me know.

Think my son is cutting at least one of his molars, although won’t let me look or feel inside his mouth so can’t be certain. But all the signs point in that direction He is currently refusing Calpol/Nurofen/anything that requires syringing or spooning into his mouth but is definitely in pain. Anyone got any alterna...

I told my 4 yr old to shake after peeing and he said Mohammed(his friend at school) don’t shake after peeing. I said how would you know and he said they went to the bathroom together and peed in the same toilet 😳. I asked him did the teacher send them together and he said no the teacher didn’t know. He was peeing…

Has anyone used nurofen for teething. My almost 6 month old has his two bottom teeth already but it seems some other ones are looming. He’s so irritated and always wanting to chew on my finger. I’ve brought every toy, give him teething granules, I’ve tried calpol and anbesol but nothing seems to provide relief. Dist...

My baby has been teething her molars really bad so she has been drooling a lot, but I feel like this rash just popped up overnight. It’s usually only one or three bumps around her mouth which are fairly small, but this is a lot more and I’m not sure if it’s still a teething rash…

Is your toddler still not potty trained?

What is everyone using for potty training while out of the house? My little girl has the my carry potty but she hates it, I think it feels too low down for her so she won’t try it again. What other options have people gone for? She has a potty at home that she’s happy with but it’s not one that’s portable

Does anyone have any advice on getting my newly potty trained toddler to poop on the potty or toilet??

People who are/have potty trained did you buy a travel potty if so which is the best ones. I was looking at the My carry potty but have been told by a few that they are uncomfortable plus quite bulky. Planning on starting potty training this week 😬 as its my only week off with LG and she isnt at the childminders…

My 7.5 month old got his first tooth a couple weeks ago and yesterday i saw the white top of the one next to it on the bottom. tonight i was looking at his top gums and the 4 front ones are white capped and have the little holes that happen before the teeth pop through. is it possible for this many teeth to come in ...

For parents that had the tooth fairy visit, how much was the tooth fairy giving your kiddo? Or does your tooth fairy have a different tradition? Please share, i think I might need to start getting ready for this.

I wanna start potty training my toddler. I have two potties and pull-ups but what would be the best way to go about this? I have carpets so the nappy free way won't work. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hey, my 18mo daughter’s lips keep turning blue. It’s happened a few times now and I always assumed it’s because she was cold… but today she was definitely warm so I’m very confused by it! I googled it and it wasn’t much help so I’m really unsure. Excuse the messy face, she was eating at the time I managed to get a...

I am getting worried about the next stages and how to best help my little one learn and transition, and when to do it! Have you started potty training yet? Have you moved them into a floor bed? Any advice on which one to start first would be great ❤️

My daughter is 2.5 and has been going on the potty quite some time now but still in nappies. If she’s naked she has no problem using the potty or toilet so I’m going to bite the bullet and get her some knickers this weekend. Question is do we just go for it and see if she has any accidents or is there a specific way...

My son is still in nappies he will be 4 in July and starts school in September I can’t help beat myself up and worry about him because he shows no signs of getting It and when I try putting pants on he just has a huge melt down I worry he will get bullied if he still hasn’t cracked it when it’s time for school and I...
