I am starting to think about potty training my boy, he is not totally ready so not starting yet but want to get the potties in the house so he gets used to seeing them (one for upstairs & one for downstairs). Then I saw these fancy travel ones & wondered if they were good but don’t want to spend a pile of money! The...

He kicks screams and doesn’t stay still , anyone would think I’m doing something evil to him ! But isn’t interested in sitting on the potty either so I’m like if you don’t want your nappy changed then potty train😂

Has anyone started to potty train their 2yr old? What are you doing? How’s it going? Any tips?

Anyone know of any dentists taking on in Newport? I need to register my son but every dentist I've rang have said they're not taking on

Just when you think someone can't get anymore incompetent He comes in from work at 9am Tells me our daughter has done a poo as she greeted him at the apartment door saying so I had just been taking a shower and she was in the bedroom playing We all go in the living room where I would change her He puts her on the co...

I am trying to train my 1 year old to use the potty, but no luck... I've tried to sit on the toilet showing and having her sit on her toilet. She just runs away. I've given her toys and books that doesnt work. I've tried to sing to her doesn't work. I've given her stickers doesn't work. I haven't yelled or said anyt...

Any toddler moms have potty training tips? Not sure how to get him going??

My 2 year old has never had any issues with doing his number 2. However last couple of weeks he keeps complaining of being full (in that is pull up is full) even though it’s just been changed. I’ve realised what he actually needs is a poo but for some reason he just won’t push instead walks around crying that he’s f...

We've been struggling with this for several months now - we started potty training and my daughter was actively holding it and not wanting to poo because she was scared. Because she held it in, she got really constipated. Has anyone experienced this, and if so, what's worked? Thank you!

Hi, I'm feeling like the worst mom ever atm. My sons 2 front teeth are going grey and discolouring pretty quick, but I don't see why really, he doesn't eat sweets/ice lollies or ice cream/chocolate. He loves yoghurts, milk, melon, strawberries. No dummy since well before he was 1 he has Sugar free squash in like a...

So this might isn’t really pregnancy related, but last week my wisdom tooth came through and caused me a infection in my gum the dentist just cleaned the area etc twice last week but wouldn’t give me antibiotics because of baby. Now my jaw has a swollen up and I can feel like a round ball on my jawline and my face ...

When to take little ones to the dentist?

My baby has been sick and loose nappies over the past few days and been the doctors (he reckoned stomach bug) He’s also been off his food My baby’s been super tetchy and clingy and I wondered why I felt the inside of his mouth and can feel the buds of the last top molars coming through! Anyone else going through th...

My daughters just turned 19 months and starting to hold herself while having a wee/poo in her nappy so I ask if she’s got a wee/poo in her nappy she is able to tell me yes or no. When should I start training her? She’s only started doing this now and then around 2 weeks ago. I have no idea how to even start with pot...

So I bought some training pants for my 16 month old, but I haven't started potty training her yet. Was it too soon to buy training pants if she isn't being potty trained yet?

I fear I have created a monster and I’m not really sure how to fix it…. When we first started potty training I would give him his tablet to sit on the potty with, and it clicked right away, he always told me when he needed to potty and we rarely had accidents. Now my issue is all he wants to do is sit on the potty w...

Does this mean his bottom teeth will pop through soon?? Only the past few days I’ve noticed I can see them through the front of the gum. Please ignore the food up his nose, he hates having his face wiped😫😂

Not to sure if my little one is teething or not He feels hot and keeps crying won’t take his bottle only had about 7oz today keeps biting things but won’t settle …first time mum so not sure what to expect give him calpol and teething powder but not seeming to help had him in just a vest all day just seems hot to touch

Does this look like he’s teething? He’s only 3 months old. He’s been dribbling loads and on his fingers for weeks now but just presumed it was developmental stages.

Anyone else's little one still have epstein pearls? I read they should go by about 3months although my LG is 5.5months now and it's still there Shes been teething for what feels like forever but it's right on top of where her first tooth is going to come through Photo is terrible as she won't let us look in her mou...
