This week, we’re talking about something that can very easily get lost somewhere between nappies, bedtimes, work and the never-ending to-do list- romance! We chat about what happens to your relationship when you become parents, why making time for each other can feel almost impossible, and the little things that can help you stay connected as a couple. Expect plenty of laughs, very honest confessions and a reminder that sometimes you have to actually make space for the relationship underneath all that parenting! We hope you enjoy and do let us know if you have any tips! :)

This week, we’re joined by the amazing Deirdre Holland Hannon, urotherapy expert, (follow her here) to talk about the toileting struggles so many families experience but don’t always talk about. From bedwetting and accidents to holding wee, withholding poo and constipation, Deirdre explains what might actually be going on and why these behaviours are so hard to navigate. We talk about what’s typical, when parents should seek support, and practical ways to take the pressure and shame out of toileting.
This was an absolute masterclass on this subject! We hope you get lots from it. Don't hesitate to reach out to Dee if you need support https://deirdrehollandhannon.com/
