I have a very active 14 months old. And for the past two months diaper change has been a struggle. She hates it and she won't lay down. As soon as I put her down ,she is up and runs away within a few seconds. I don't get to even open the diaper. So mostly I end up changing it while she is standing. For wet diaper i...

Where is everyone at teeth wise? Our second one is coming!

My three month old LO has just started teething, he's got a very slight temperature of around 38 degrees, I've given him some calpol and lots of cuddles which is seeming to settle him. But he's only had two 150ml bottles since midnight last night. Is this okay/normal for him (I assume) feeling rough? Hes quite hap...

Random one, for those that have toddlers & a dog or dogs. How do you have your garden? Do you allow your dog to use it as a toilet? Our dog has always had free range of the garden, but now I’m conscious I want our son to be able to play not where the dog toilets. Wondering what others do! Thanks!

Long story short 3.5 year old has been potty trained since October last year but I can’t get him to do a poo which isn’t in his nappy so far he’s sucked it back up for 5 days because I won’t put him in a nappy I have tried everything to suede him to use it but nothing

Just wanted to know if anyone’s started potty training yet? My LO is showing me some signs and thought I might give it a go. No pressure on my LO at all at this stage though.

What are some good ways to potty train a girl? I have been working with her for a year. she won’t tell you she has to go potty until she’s already peed or pooped her pants. we wanted to put her in preschool in the fall, but doesn’t look like it’s gonna be happening.

Hey is it normal for baby’s teeth/gum to bleed slightly when teething? Especially when the tooth is pushing through?🩷my boy is 6 month old xx Thank you!!

Hi, can anyone advise on tips for potty training? My son is coming up to 2 and a half next month, he’s recognising when he needs a wee etc but would rather wear a nappy than use his potty, he will sit on it, same with a toilet seat but so far he’s only used his potty once. Any tips are appreciated

My baby boy is a bit over 5 and a half months will be 6 months old on the 19th and he's full on teething now is drooling a lot more and swollen cheeks by his ears and he's been chewing on his fingers a lot since 4 and a half months and yesterday we went to a parent and baby group and he was fussy almost the whole ti...

Hi I just wanted a gauge on when you guys start potty training? My daughter will be 14months next week and we’re expecting another in Oct of this year. Realistically I don’t want to buy 2 different sized diapers. They’re already expensive as it is with just one.

Baby boy has been fussy for the past few days, started drooling a lot, and roots but doesn’t want the breast (he only wants his knuckle in his mouth or something similar). I thought it might be teeth but he’s only 3 months old. Dr hasn’t answered my message yet- wanted to see if any moms know what it could be.

Ok, so my almost 2 year old has been doing something during the night where his diaper will still be on, but it seems that he takes his thing out and he will pee when he needs to... he's not speaking yet, so he can't tell us when he needs to go... but it's been two nights in a row that has happened... his bed would ...

My LO has just been asked to come back home from nursery for being sick, he hasn’t even been eating as normal, his temperature is fine and he is playing, wet nappies as usual. And I try to apply anbesol teething liquid twice a day. Is there anything else I can do or give him, he is very tired now, (he is not feedin...

If you're changing a Nappy and your LO pees, are you logging that as one wee or two?

My MIL is convinced my LO is teething as he likes putting his hands in his mouth and has started dribbling. He isn’t showing any other signs and she keeps buying and going on at me to buy teething toys but his hand eye coordination isn’t even good enough to put the teething bits in his mouth yet, he just brings to...

Idk if it’s because I’m used to my rose toy but I feel like I can only go while using it My man doesn’t suck in bed but I get it if he can’t make me go maybe he’s not doing it right idk he’s the biggest thick guy I had in my life but I also noticed after having my 2nd kid (she’s 4 now almost 5) down there is just d...

I got my wisdom tooth removed today and my dentist (not my regular dentist) said he was going to give me a paper with instructions like the dos and donts after an extraction but never did. I’m just looking for advise here :)

Taking my toddler for first time next week and i tried to explain it like going to the doctors (which he has been totally fine to do) and also used a paw patrol audibook but toddler is throwing a tantrum about it when i bring it up now and doesn’t want to go… feel like i gave tmi and it would have been fine on the d...

Please tell me I'm not alone, I'm really really struggling to help my daughter. She used to be so placid, but now we are having screaming fits as soon as she gets out of the bath, only wants me not her dad, won't brush her teeth without a fight, getting dressed is the same. She hasn't eaten an evening meal since bef...
