Does this look like my little one might be teething? I haven’t noticed any changes to their mood, they do like to chew their hands but that’s not new, and no more dribbly than usual… doesn’t feel sharp when I put my fingers in, so nothing has cut through, can’t tell if it’s just bobbly gums 😂

When did you all start toilet training and any tips please x

Helpppppp! I have 3y/o twin girls … I’m trying to them fully potty trained as they will be starting preschool this fall.. I put them on the pot in the morning , before bed & before and after a nap. They don’t like being wet , they can tell me if they peed or pooped , they will literally cry if their pull up isnt cha...

My little boy has two canine teeth cutting and it only really bothers him at night. He has had Nurofen for 3 nights now (no other doses) would you give another dose tonight? They are still bothering him and I know if I don’t give it to him he is going to be up in the night in pain

I'm concerned about my daughters teeth. She's 15 months and only has 4 teeth. Most baby's we know from friends and family have so many more teeth already and are the same age or younger. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I’m thinking my little girl is teething but I’m not completely sure ? How do u determine if she is or not ? ( her poop has been grayish color ) and she’s been trying to nibble on my fingers a lot lately

My little one has been chewing on his fingers like crazy (and really anything he can get in his mouth) and way more fussy than normal. Does it look like he could be having a tooth pop through soon?

Do you take baby in with you? Park them in the pram outside? Adult nappies? Our baby is six months and I'm thinking of going a bit further from home with him on day trips (it's just me and him). Maybe I'm overthinking this? 🤣😅

Hi Ladies I’m looking for a dentist for my LO. Any recommendations? I prefer the west side as that’s where we live but I’d go east for a good dentist. TIA

hey guys! i think my 3 almost 4 month old is showing signs of teething. how would i know for sure if he is. his cheeks are rosy, hes fussy, super drooly and doesnt want to take good naps (only 15-30 min). my mom and my partners mom thinks hes teething but i just need help on if he actually is or if it could be a sle...

Most of us have littles that are now toilet training. What are some tips you may have for another mother? I have toilet trained 4 children and have learned this truth: All children are different. I guess that would be my advice. Learn your child and follow their cues. What stage of toileting are you and your...

What age would you say a child should be trained? Also any tips would be great 😊

Those of you who skipped pull ups. Did you go straight to regular underwear or specifically potty training underwear? If you went straight to underwear were there a lot of accidents on the floor? Does it go like straight through the underwear? If you went with potty training underwear does it hold a single pee? How ...

My baby doesn’t have any teeth yet but I can see the two bottom ones under the gum slightly. She hasn’t really been nursing like she normally does and has been biting me during feeds which is unlike her. Is this a sign of teeth coming through soon ?

My poor baby, he's in so much pain from cutting a molar tooth he wakes up screaming until I nurse him and give him calpol. How long do molars take to come through 🙈

My little one has been showing every sign of teething going but barely lets me see in his mouth as his just sticks his tongue out or just won’t let me in 🤣. Does this look like there’s two bottom ones coming through at all?

Baby girl has started drooling ALOT and chewing on everything she can chew. Thought it was normal development stage but shes also started rubbing her ears and being clingy/fussy Had a look and see this? Does it look like teething or do baby gums just look like that😂😂

My LO (26months) is getting 95% of his wees in the toilet but struggling with poos. We are probably getting less than half in the potty/toilet. Any advice welcome? He’s also getting really defiant when I ask him to go to the toilet all of a sudden!

I've been trying to potty train my son, and he will tell us when he needs a wee / if he's doing a wee, but he doesn't like to actually sit on the potty. He has done some wees on there and even did a poo yesterday, he knows it's his potty and has enjoyed decorating it with stickers. Unsure if anyone else has encounte...

My daughter will be 3 next week. She has been going to the potty but only when she is told to go. At one point she was telling me when she had to but now she starts to get emotional and fussy every-time I tell her to go. She stays dry at daycare, the only times she uses it on herself is when she takes naps. How do I...
