So before I was pregnant, I used to always take care of myself and as a mum I’ve noticed I’ve slipped in hygiene and also brushing my teeth. They used to be so white, now they’re dingy yellow, my eyebrows are a mess, roots have grown out. What toothpaste do you use for a white smile? I seen the purple toothpaste o...

Hi everyone! I feel like we should start potty training but our son is showing no interest. We bring him to the bathroom with us so he can see what we are doing and we bought him his own tiny toilet but he doesn’t seem to care about the bathroom at all. Does anyone have any advice?

How do you cope with your babies teething whilst breastfeeding? My 5 month old now has his two bottom teeth through and he’s started biting SO hard on my nipples whilst feeding. He thinks it’s a game as he pulls off afterwards smiling 😂 I can’t imagine what it’ll be like when the other teeth come through 😵‍💫 It…

Anyone else have teething toys for their LO but their LO prefers chewing their hand instead?

So sorry, but this is a potty post 😅 My daughter is basically 99% dry at home. She either asks for a wee wee/poo poo or just goes and does it herself then tells us! She is also telling us when she is out too so for instance when we go gymnastics or to a restaurant. However nursery is a different story 🙃 she is…

I am currently having issues potting training by 2yo son,he usually tells us that he needs to go "pee pee" so we quickly rush him to his potty just to find out that he has already done so🙁. My husband takes him to go to the bathroom with him so he can get the gist of what to do as do I take him with me. We have…

She's getting her molars and staying up most of the night. She's now upset because I didn't let her put my hand in her mouth to bite it then she started grinding her teeth again. She had her first dentist appointment a week ago and everything was great. The grinding has been very often the last few days. I don't t...

Any tips?! What should I do? I don’t want to quit nursing yet. When I tell him No he just laughs.

My son is 9 years old and has a tooth abscess, I took him to the dentist and the dentist only prescribed antibiotics and said to just “watch it” until it bothers him more/gets worse. He said the antibiotics would make the bump go down, I thought that meant it would clear the abscess but upon further research I found...

Hi mamas! Hope you’re doing well, remember to give yourself some grace! My 18 month old has expressed interest in the potty. Anyone there yet? How are you doing it? What’s working for you? Would it be better if he potty trains with dad (same body parts) or does it even matter ? I got him his potty with a step sto...

My almost 19mo LO still only has 6 teeth! Wanting to know if anyone else's baby has as little or less teeth than my LO at this age?

Everyone is asking me what diapers I want and I know the first few months pampers sensitive would he best but what have you used that is budget friendly? I have read reviews on Rascal and friends but are there specific brands that I should stay away from? Thanks in advanced!

Does anyone else’s LO only have two teeth? She’s just turned one and only has her two bottom teeth, not sure if she should have more? Thanks!

Do your babies tend to drink less milk when they’re teething bad? My son has had 2 teeth cut threw within a week of each other and I’ve been struggling to get him to finish full bottles. He just keeps pushing it away, throwing it down, chewing on the nipple

Baby is 10 months and he has 2 top teeth and 4 bottom teeth. My nipples have been hurting the past weeks more than they ever have. 😭😭😭 Anyone else?
