Yellow tooth?

My baby is 9 months now and one of his 6 teeth seems to have a yellow spot on it. It’s still growing so hard to see. We brush almost daily when I remember… it’s not like he’s eating sugar… just normal purred food and his formula. Drinks boiled tap water too. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be or a dentist they can recommend? I’m not sure if it’s maybe a pediatrician we should go see to check blood levels or something? I read it might be lack of or too much fluoride but I have no idea if the tap water contains it and so google got useless :) thanks in advance

Their teeth should be brushed twice a day with the correct concentration of fluoride in the toothpaste (one aimed at babies).

Formula actually does contain a fair amount of sugar (one study found more sugar in formula than fanta) and acid is almost as dangerous to teeth as sugar if not more so. Acid is found in most fruits etc and babies eat a fair amount of fruits I assume your baby has fruit puree?

Never brush teeth 30 mins after eating as you’ll just rub the sugar/ acid into the teeth and cause more of an issue.

I’d also say take baby to a dentist as even with these things a few months seems extreme to get a yellow spot.

Hope this helps x

There are sugars pretty much in anything, brushing twice a day for your baby once their first tooth comes through is necessary. As above I would get a dentist appointment to make sure everything is okay x

I believe Fluoride toothpaste should not be routinely used for children under 2 years old because they tend to swallow it, which could lead to dental fluorosis. It's recommended to use only a tiny amount, about the size of a grain of rice, if a child is at high risk for tooth decay and this is advised by a dentist. This is according to the CDC, WHO and ADA

the NHS suggests otherwise. To each their own though x

So heartbroken I found out my partner is cheating

She posted a bunch of pictures of them together, him in bed kissing her, matching outfits, them at Christmas events etc, hell she has more picture with him than I have of him with the kids in the last year.

I can’t even make sense of it all. We were together 14 years and have kids under 5 including a baby.

I feel like the worst part is the silence. I messaged him a bunch of the photos like wtf how could you do this? How could you be with someone else over a year? He responded with a typo saying “it hasn’t been a year it’s actually been a for a few months”. I don’t know if he meant over a few months or only a few months and it’s driving me insane not to know. He hasn’t opened my messages since Sunday morning. Like umm I’m home alone with babies and my whole world is crashing and you can’t even check your phone? What if there was an emergency? No apology no nothing

It’s a woman I know but hadn’t seen in a few years but our last convo she knew I was pregnant. I messaged her asking how long they been together and how could she date him and flaunt it knowing we had a family and sent pics of our family but she blocked me and changed her page to private. They still follow each other so I don’t think they are broken up but the last post of them was December.


I just can’t believe this. We actually have been doing great in our relationship in the last 3 months things were better than ever. I had zero idea any of this was going on


I hate not knowing if/when he’s coming home? Is he at least coming up with a fake apology or something or will he just be angry and act like he’s done nothing wrong. I can’t believe that was his only response and the typo is driving me mad lol

I haven’t slept or even ate since I found out. I’m so heartbroken we just had celebrated his birthday Saturday with the kids and had such an amazing day out, it was so beautiful our toddler was running around saying daddy daddy daddy which she just learned to say and now I’m just like wtfffffff

Nursery

Hey, My 11month old has been going to nursery since end of January, she does Monday to Friday 9-3. She’s been ill every single week and has completed 3 rounds of antibiotics! She never ends up completing a full week and meaning im off work constantly! Me and my partner also end up catching a bug every week and it’s starting to put a big toll on family life as we are all completely burnt out! She loves to go nursery but I’m seriously thinking of pulling her out as it’s causing so much stress. Is anyone else in the same boat? I’m desperate for advice on what to do for the best. TIA X

Is this an issue or not!?!

Sorry personal/marriage related question!
Me and my husband work together (since having the kids i support in his shop). Today you could see my knicker line through my trousers and he was fuming! He pulled me aside and questioned whether i thought what i was wearing was appropriate and how i could leave the house like that. This is the 2nd time this has happened. I don't think ive ever really been bothered by knicker lines or my clothes might be abit tighter now since having child. Is it really inappropriate to have knicker lines on show? Am i being too chill or is he doing too much?
