It’s the second night in the row my baby is struggling with sleep. She wants to be asleep so bad but just keeps screaming like she in pain or making noise like she’s uncomfortable. Her eyes are shut the whole time and even if I pick her up for a cuddle she’s still the same and takes A Lot to settle back down. I’ve ...

My MIL has bought us an amber teething anklet as my LG has started teething but I read its a load of 💩online. Has anyone used thwm before and do they work? (also I must add I wouldn't even consider putting one round her neck she's brought the ankle bracelet)

Have you started to potty train? If so, how did you go? Any tips?

Looks like lo has a gap in her teeth, will that grow out or she might have gap once she is older also?

Hi all, has anyone experienced teeth sensitivity, strange tastes and insomnia? I’m only 4weeks+4days and I haven’t had any morning sickness etc (yet!). I just want to know if these are normal. Thank you xx

We started potty training my LG one week ago. She has been doing well, done pees and poos in the potty however, she is still having accidents several times a day and I am constantly asking her if she needs a pee/poo I'm sick of my own voice 🤣. Sometimes I have to bribe her to sit on the potty which works or…

Does it feel like anyone else's baby is unsettled more than they are happy all of a sudden? I feel terrible for feeling this way but I am so so deflated. 😫 I'm pretty confident she's not teething yet so I can't even imagine how hard that's going to be

My bubs has his first 2 teeth cutting together so will need to get some. Just want to see what people are using/recommend :)

Our LO has had her first 2 teeth come through. I'm now looking to buy a toothbrush and toothpaste for a 7 month old. Have you got any suggestions? Also I assume you brush their teeth in the morning and after their last bottle/breastfeed before bed?

i’m going to london tomorrow on the train which i’m nervous for and then into winter wonderland Monday, any tips or advice ? has anyone else gone with a 3 month old?

Sorry for the terrible photo but my boy does not sit still and has constantly got his tongue out as soon as anything goes near his mouth so getting a pic is impossible 😅 But does this look like he's teething/starting to cut a tooth maybe? His gum definitely looks different? I tried to feel it and it felt really…

So proud of my boy at the moment. We are on week 3 of potty training and we've only had one accident this week on Tuesday. We were out of the house all day Thursday and Friday with no accidents. Something that finally makes me feel like I'm not failing entirely at parenting

We’ve all had a sickness bug and just started to get over it, LO is also teething and not finishing her bottles because of it. So I’ve taken a break from weaning, is that bad

So I thought it was because she was unwell or teeth etc but it’s been going on a fair few weeks now. Will eat a few snacks but not at all interested in any meals.. even tried limiting the snacks but she’s then still not bothered?! She still has a morning and evening bottle. At 6.30am ish and then around 7pm. Any...

Little one has been fussy lately, and gums are hard with 2 little white nubs. For those who had their babies teeth already come through, did it look like this right before then?

I need to read up on potty training but just wanted to ask moms here, when do you know when your child is ready to potty train? My son is only 15 months old and he is starting to announce his poops and will cry “poo poo dirty” 🥺 I’ve never scolded him for pooping and always say “good job, you poo-pooed!” to avoid…

Hey! For those of you who are into eco-products or hypoallergenic products for baby: Tell me about some of your picks. I just ordered ecopea diapers and we are making the switch. Tell me about what you do to keep the chemicals out of your babe’s life?

My LO is 10 weeks old and there is no sign of teething . But I noticed this today . Do you know what’s this ? Is it something normal or abnormal ? The white thing inside his mouth ? Please help

Has anyone else's bub fed less when their teeth started coming through? My nearly 7 month old has just had her first 2 teeth cut through.. she was feeding ~8 times per day (one side when she wakes, one before she sleeps) but has dropped at least 3 feeds a day and seems really uninterested sometimes. I'm fairly certa...

In the last week my 8 month old has got her first 2 teeth... last night she's started biting me real bad whilst I'm nursing her, is there any way I can prevent this my nipples are so sore I could cry!
