Welcome back to Season 2 of the Podcast! What better way to kick of the brand new season than focussing on the hot topic of Potty Training, and not just the day time Potty Training but Night Time too, which can be more complex and is definitely less spoken about! I am joined by Catherine, Mum of 2 and Co Founder of Hygge Sheets, Catherine is on a mission to open up the conversation about night time training and bed wetting, after having struggling with her daughter, she realised this area is much less spoken about and can be a source of real worry to parents.
