Man’s dental hygiene

I am beyond stressed with having my son’s father needing more babying than him. My boyfriend does not brush his teeth unless I ask him too and it is concerning. I ask him if he is depressed and he says no, I ask him if it hurts to brush his teeth he says no. His excuses are “well I forgot” or “I don’t have time” and...

Can someone tell me what this spot on my daughter's tooth is? ( best picture I could get)

Is it decaying? It's one of her baby tooth so do I need to be extra worried?.

Pulling on his Willy

My LB is constantly pulling on his Willy. He hates to put on his nappy because that means he can’t play with it. It’s just a bit much now. Is that even normal?

My son is 2 and I have no idea when to start potty training and how to introduce it. I’ve heard that you can start around 2/3 but I’m not positive. I would love some tips/tricks on introducing it.

My little girl nailed potty training so well for first couple of weeks. Then she started secretly pooing in knickers. And has done now for about a month. We have prizes per poo and then I started a reward chart where 5 poos in toilet get a

A big prize. She is on 4 now and today is still doing poos in knickers so can’t get to the prize. Then gets really sad that she can’t have prize! Will she just grow out of this?? Is it normal?? Feeling so sad about it.

Teething?

My little one has been chewing on his fingers like crazy (and really anything he can get in his mouth) and way more fussy than normal. Does it look like he could be having a tooth pop through soon?

Teeth

I'm concerned about my daughters teeth. She's 15 months and only has 4 teeth. Most baby's we know from friends and family have so many more teeth already and are the same age or younger. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Giving Nurofen more than 3 nights in a row?

My little boy has two canine teeth cutting and it only really bothers him at night. He has had Nurofen for 3 nights now (no other doses) would you give another dose tonight? They are still bothering him and I know if I don’t give it to him he is going to be up in the night in pain

🦷?

Does this look like my little one might be teething? I haven’t noticed any changes to their mood, they do like to chew their hands but that’s not new, and no more dribbly than usual… doesn’t feel sharp when I put my fingers in, so nothing has cut through, can’t tell if it’s just bobbly gums 😂

Potty training - I’m lost

I started potty training a few days ago and my son will usually go when we put him on there but he HATES it. We tried getting an add-on for the big toilet, stickers, coin bank… he couldn’t care less about any of it, just wants to play and is quite happy doing wees and pops in his pants or on the floor. Today I’ve ev...

Weird question but how do you pee when out and about?

Do you take baby in with you? Park them in the pram outside? Adult nappies? Our baby is six months and I'm thinking of going a bit further from home with him on day trips (it's just me and him). Maybe I'm overthinking this? 🤣😅
