What's next?

So we've officially gotten our boy (3.5yo) potty trained! It's been 2 weeks of success with only nighttime accidents. I don't want to put pull-ups on him at night but I also don't want to wake up with wet sheets (we still co-sleep). Do I have other options? Or should I continue using the pull-ups?

Throwing food

Is anyone else’s toddler just throwing almost everything you give them? I’ve tried cutting down on snacks so she’s hungry during mealtimes but no luck. I’ve tried adding “safe” foods to everything I give her but she’ll only eat a bit and toss the rest.

Childcare help

Hi all, I’m really struggling to have anytime away from the baby, going to the doctors, or just having 10 mins to breathe is really hard. She won’t take a bottle, and I just got home to her going absolutely mental. Her dad won’t look after her again, and said she’ll have to be looked after by someone else next time....
