Mamas! A weird situation just happened and I don’t know if I should be concerned or I’m just paranoid. I came back from a walk outside to my baby and nanny playing on the living room. I came to say hi to my baby and I see something in her mouth. I stick it out with my finger and I see a piece of what seems to be a c...

Hey mamas 👋🏽 My baby girl is two months and she started to only put her left hand in her mouth and she also salivates a lot like drooling. Is this normal at this age? Also is she teething? My mom says it might be but I think it’s too early.. she constantly put her hand in her mouth .. just a little concerned

Help!! I’ve been potty training the past 3 days but every day I’m asking if he needs to go for a wee or a poo every hour and he says no I have made him sit on the potty and try a couple of times and he has done a wee when I’ve told him to have a try but I have no idea if this is what potty training is all about!! Pl...

I only really give it before bed and try to use other methods during the day but we are going into the 4th night and he is teething so bad, he is currently is cutting 3 teeth at once 😢😢 part of me is thinking about not giving it tonight as it will be the 4th night in a row and the other part of me is thinking if he…

So I’ve booked a couple of days around the Easter weekend to go for it, this is the only part of parenting so far I have been really unsure of 😅 I’ve heard so many different approaches! We’ve had the potty out for a bit and got her a toilet seat recently that she sits on. I’ve got some books for her but she hasn’t…

Has anyone’s baby gone through teething early? My baby is 3 months old and has been sooo irritable, has bright red cheeks, constantly chewing on things and started to dribble - I’m sure it’s teething but wondered if he’s too young for that? If it is teething, how long would the teething stage last before a tooth app...

I feel my wee boy is reading to start going to the toilet/potty. I wasn’t planning on to much pressure but just even trying every time he gets changed and at least introduce it slowly. I mentioned to his nursery and the staff told me they don’t have a toilet in the baby room just changing room, it’s in the 2-3 room...

FTM here, baby has been very fussy and clingy all day, hasn't napped more than 15 minutes, and has one very red cheek. Is this teething? I have no clue how to help the poor little man😭

I have no clue what the process is and I’m looking for any advice! Do I take nappies away completely or just use them for the car/bed?

We’re going to attempt potty training this week and absolutely dreading the mess as our whole rented flat has carpets. What do people use to get rid of the urine and worse poo?

Hey I don’t know much about teething so could you guys let me know what you know. My baby is 11 weeks and is dribbling a lot, shoving his fist in his mouth - constantly, slightly more irritable, chomping on his dummy. I’ve bought two of those “teething gloves” but because he’s so young he doesn’t understand it and ...

Little one has temp. Nurofen seems to help for few hours but he starts to feel hot again. He was drooling a lot today so took him Pharmacy and bought Anbesol liquid cos i thought maybe he is teething? He randomly shakes his body like he is cold. (Its not shivery or jerking) I feel so helpless seeing him in pain. He ...

Such a crazy thing to be emotional/proud over, but Friday we had first half wee in the potty (finished it in the bath 😂) and tonight we had first full wee in the potty before bath, and straight after getting out she asked to go on again and did another one. We’re taking it very very slowly but I’m chuffed ^_^…

So idk if this is a dumb question but how often should I be changing my baby’s diaper? I try and change him every 1-3 hours. But I’m curious if I should change him more? Idk if I’m supposed to check his diaper at a certain time to see if he needs a change? Our little guy is incredibly gassy so it’s hard to know when...

Hey, I'm a new mum, so please bare with me as this could be completely wrong and just my overthinking... My 2 month old has always been trying to mouth something within the past few days, clothing, his hands, arms, my hair, etc. He is also licking his tongue out... I was just wondering if this is sensory / develop...

Any ideas or tips on potty training? My son is not going for it he doesn’t even want to sit on his potty 😭

The registration says child must be toilet trained. Currently she says ‘Potty’ and manages without her diaper but she doesnt know how to wipe it yet. She is 2 years and 8 months old. So when the registration says “toilet trained” do they mean the kid should know how to wipe as well? Sorry if this is a stupid questio...

She’s getting so big. She counting to 5 and saying her Abcs. She said my pee pee lol. I put her on the pot as soon as she wakes up and before bed.

Hiya. This may sound silly but what do people do when their LO needs a wee when on a walk or at a local shop or library. Do you just get the travel potty out there and then put in the open? I live by small shops and library and I’m debating a quick trip to one with my LO tomorrow but haven’t moved potty training ou...

What’s a quick way to get my almost two year old to goto the potty?
