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...

Is anyone else finding potty training absolutely draining or is it just because I'm also 6 months pregnant 🥹

To all the mamas who have succeeded potty training their little ones, could I please heave tips and your absolute essential buys so I can have a good try at getting my SEN boy potty trained or attempted during these holidays? Many thanks

Our son is 5 weeks old. He is not circ yet and I feel strongly that I don’t want him to go through that procedure. My bf has been adamant since we found out the gender that he absolutely MUST have it done. The thing is, he’s not taking any initiative to schedule the thing or look into how it can be done. His reasoni...

My 3yo still won’t poop in potty. I feel like I’ve tried everything!!! She will even get the diaper and put it on herself. Any tips?!😩

How have you all potty trained your sons? I have no idea what I’m doing to be honest. I am asking him if he needs to go for a wee or poo every so often and taking him to his potty. Sometimes he does wee sometimes he doesn’t which is fine but is that all I need to be doing? I am encouraging him to drink more so the...

How do you all deal with this? I feel like my baby has so painful gums that she can’t bite on toys anymore. When she does, she hurts herself and starts crying. I don’t even see teeth coming out. Is this normal? How long this lasts? She had fever due to virus couple days and now this right after. I am going crazy here…

Has anyone started? How’s it going? I’ll take any advice I can get

This might sound crazy, last night I unlatched my LO (she was done feeding and just sucking my nipple at 11pm 😴) in the process I accidentally touched her gum but when I did I felt the beginning of a tooth coming through (top front)... I haven't looked in her mouth yet to see how her gum looks but is it really…

Does anyone have any advice for a non verbal toddler to toilet train please? Thank you!

I just wanted to share my success story. At 10 months we were told by a family friend about elimination communication. Our daughter always made a face when pooping and it always happened when she was eating. We decided at 10 months that when she would make the face we would put her on the potty. She started pooping ...

At what point do I start brushing? His tooth has 1/2 popped through, I can see the tip now. Do I start brushing now? He's unsettled with it so wasn't sure if this would hurt him?

We have just started potty training (this is the 2nd day).. what part of the bedtime routine do you put a nappy on? Our toddler is 2 and a half

Sorry if this is tmi. My little girl started potty training two weeks ago and she has done well. Just wondering how you all are wiping your little ones after wees and poos because I can’t wipe her well while she is standing up so currently laying her down on a mat and wiping that way. Not enough room to do it while...
