Boy Moms… how do ya’ll stop your boys from peeing all over the place during diaper changes? My poor walls… Also, what’s your favorite cleaner after the fact? I’ve learned some of his cues, but he’s a little fire hose! (He’s 3 months old)

It’s something new he’s been doing. Wondering if it’s because he just likes the feeling of it? He hasn’t started teething yet.

I’m almost 2cm dilated and having small contractions but they’re starting to hurt a little. I’m excited but I have a terrible toothache. Dealing with both is crazy 😭 anyone have any suggestions to get rid of a toothache?? I know we can’t really take much while pregnant

How does everyone get to nhs dentist when they pregnant because I phoned everywhere and they told me its 3 years waiting time. Do I just go private? What did you do ?

Mommas who have done the potty training thing, i need help!!! We just started potty training and my daughter is doing great!! Other than the pooping part.

My daughter is 18 months almost 19 months. My daughter’s doctor never gave us an answer the other day when I took her in. Her teeth are in good condition. I just want to know when is a good time too.

We are thinking of trying the 3 day bare bottom potty training method soon. Please leave tips and experiences!

For the last few weeks,my LO has had several times each day where he has taken himself to his potty.We always praise and reward with stickers,and he seems really proud of himself. However,we’ve hit a snag as there are lots of times during the day where I take him to his potty (or ask him to go) and he will scream an...

Am I really behind? My child is not interested in toilet training at all - won’t use it. Had a potty and toilet seat since her 2nd birthday. Never used either. Also still has a dummy they’re hugely attached too. Feel like I’m completely failing.

Curious to know what people’s preferences are for diapers. I’m leaning towards using cloth/reusable since it’s a much more sustainable option but struggling to make a decision. Also, at what age do people generally start potty training and getting kids out of diapers? Growing up in Canada I’ve always thought between...

My daughter has started drooling. And when I say drooling I mean her mouth is watering I don’t even know where all of this saliva is coming from? Last week I saw her bottoms pop through a teeny bit. I can also feel her gum is a bit sharp but still no teeth. There’s been no progress since besides being extremely unco...

Has anyone else dealt with bouts of inconsolable crying? My girl is normally a pretty happy baby and rarely cries beyond a few minutes for a reason (tired/hungry/nappy etc). But over the last three days she’s had these bouts of complete hysterical crying that lasts anywhere from like 10 mins to 1.5 hrs Nothing will...

My baby is 13 weeks old and is really irritated and chomping down on his hands (note that this can be developmental too) but I don’t ever remember my first born being like this bad or irritated. He is chomping on his bottle rather than sucking (and usually an amazing drinker) and seems to only be soothed when he’s g...
