Ditto bathing every night, every other at best in this house (except ds1, but he's an 8-year-old slightly smelly pre-teen!).

Changing clothes when dirty. I only dress mine once a day and if it can be re-worn, i's re-worn.

Yep, ditto baths.

NEVER sterilised spoons or bowls.

Didn't have cupboard locks, move under sink cleaning products (just keep babies out of there!).

Judging by the kids who come round on playdates, giving them 'nursery' food ie white bread and I dunno, not what ds eats. Had a child horrified at houmous, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and breadsticks last week. Tried to offer a sandwich only she wouldn't have our seeded batch loaf. And niece refused prawns yesterday having never had them.

"nursery"

ie decorating room specially for baby. Dd nearly 3 and still doesn't have a room. Sleeps with us, we use the 2nd bedroom for other things.

We'll do her room soon though, because she's old enough to play in it on her own now.

Hmm, well maybe the child's parents don't eat prawns! We never have them - I hate them. Therefore, don't buy them!

agree with baths and changes of clothes

if dd/her clothes are dirty, they will be washed. If not, they'll all do for another day

Also, will allow dd out of the house in dodgy outfits/dressing up clothes she has chosen herself.

I do bother about stairgates, though, falling downstairs one of the top causes of serious injury in toddlers. And we have three storeys so very important.

Agree re baths and clothes.

If it's just one wee spot on clothes I will take a baby wipe to it and she can wear again the next day
