We potty trained our son about 2 months ago. He still uses diapers for naps and for overnights. Because of this we started using only two piece pjs - it’s easier for us to get him to use the restroom right before bedtime, and after his shower. Here’s the problem. In the middle of the night, he will shove his hands...

Okayyy..potty training my 2 almost 3 year old and we did the 3 day method a few weeks ago he gets it and if underwear/pamper is left off he’ll take himself to the potty but if we put underwear on him he pees in it. He also WILL NOT pee in public places he’s terrified of the toilet. He also won’t poop in our toilet ...

My son has a small red spot almost like blood right at his right front tooth. I tried wiping it and it didn’t do anything. Does this mean his tooth is coming in? He’s also been quite fussy these last few days. 🫣 or has anyone had this happen? I’m not super worried but I’ve never seen that before!

When I feed my little one, it’s so hard to determine if she has a teething rash, allergy rash or just food irritation when her food gets everywhere. I just fed her weetabix and milk and she has little red marks on her chin. She dribbles while eating and she also spits out her food so don’t know if this is allergy or...

Hi! My lo is just over 20 weeks, for the past couple of days he’s been really unsettled, crying out which is not like him and constantly dribbling and chewing anything in sight. I can’t tell if I can see teeth, I have no idea what to look for tbh. I’ll add a photo to see what you all think. Does that look like teeth...

My Lo is teething (molar) and lately been holding her had across her forehead. Anyone else’s doing this or maybe I should concerned of something else?

I’m taking my son to the dentist tomorrow he’s 22 months old almost 2. Well he’s very active and he won’t open his mouth for me.
