Conversely, he probably is ready at 3.5 for daytime, she’s just never bothered to actually do it properly. Just expects him to know what to do. My 3.5 year old isn’t dry overnight either and that’s fine by me. Too much expectation on the poor boy!
Looks like yet another vlog of her rehashing everything she’s already discussed in the past.
I know it's possible for night dryness at his age but it's can be so hit or miss because it's hormonal I don't think it's worth the hassle! My LG is almost 3 and daytime shes fine but at night we still get the odd wet nappy so wet aren't rushing it at all. We bedshare too so I really don't want to wake and have to change the whole bed.
Shan's probably rushed it to save money on nappies and also so George can go to the toilet alone and she doesn't have to help.

Talks about how difficult it was adjusting to 2 kids, harder than she thought, Halle was a difficult baby and George was just a sleepy baby who just slept all the time, she probably had a bit of postpartum depression, breast feeding was hard especially having to lob a boob out when they were outside and wrapped up in coats and scarves etc. she gradually just stopped doing it but wasn't prepared for all of the feelings that come with stopping breast feeding and the hormonal changes because she only bottle fed George. Halle isn't taking to solids don't you know.
Big ad for Better Help - she is speaking with one of their therapists once a week when the kids are in bed or sometimes their dad will look after them while she sneaks off to do her therapy. It's really helping her!!!! Btw use her code for 10% off.
that's as far as I'm gonna get

THANK YOU!! so many things that make me upset off the bat! 'a bit of postpartum depression'!! were those more or less her words? If so what a way to downplay those who actually suffer with depression after giving birth!Talks about how difficult it was adjusting to 2 kids, harder than she thought, Halle was a difficult baby and George was just a sleepy baby who just slept all the time, she probably had a bit of postpartum depression, breast feeding was hard especially having to lob a boob out when they were outside and wrapped up in coats and scarves etc. she gradually just stopped doing it but wasn't prepared for all of the feelings that come with stopping breast feeding and the hormonal changes because she only bottle fed George.

Halle being called 'difficult' because she didnt sleep every time she wanted to flog hellofresh is a horrible way of talking about your child!!
It could simply be that being breastfed she needed feeding more often and Shan wasnt satisfying her.
I give the whole therapy thing 2 days. As soon as her free sessions ran out. She's never been one for getting help of any kind let alone advice from someone expert and I cant see this changing her.

So, just adding to what @graceanatomy has mentioned from the Q&A vlog...
Said she can be absolutely herself with her better help therapist. Shouldn't you also be able to be like that with your partner? I appreciate partners may not be able to give suitable advice but if your partner doesn't know you are struggling or you aren't telling them everything, then how do they know what they can do to help the situation?!
Basically implied newborn baby sleep and breastfeeding are linked with each other.
Said she can't watch vlogs of when baby when George was newborn as realised she was probably being a smug git.
Potty training still not consistent, even in the day and at nursery. Expects him to just go for a poo on his own accord. Has finally realised when she mutters something like "oh god why did you do that?" is affecting his confidence.
Shares tips for how to adjust with 2 kids as if she has come up with the stuff she's done. She's obviously read things to help which is good but given any credit to where she got it from to help others.
RTW. Due back Sept/Oct. Has the option to take an years unpaid break. She's undecided what she wants to do. I wouldn't be surprised if she really ramps up churning out content to try help cover incoming and take extended unpaid leave. But then I'm also not sure she would so that as she's too money greedy.
She mentioned that if anyone is local to her to"bit her up" to make mum friends.
I think only mentioned Ash once in the a 40min vlog. At this rate she might aswell just market herself as "single mum of 2".

Given the amount of time she spends at home (no socialising, walks or baby groups) this is surprising. But not surprising because its Shan.
I just don't think he's ready no matter what is age is. Some kids aren't and that's okay.
No way will she take a year unpaid
Her content is tit, I doubt she will ever make enough from YouTube to make ends meet. Halle will eventually be on the move so Shan will have to actually look after her and not just leave her on a play mat, unless she puts her in nursery but then what would be the point of taking a year off?If you follow the Oh Crap book that a lot of mums use to potty train (including me), the signs are a lot more subtle and start from 18 months. In fact it claims that after 3+ is a lot harder to potty train as kids become more feisty, which is likely whats happened to Shan. If you follow Montessori or EC (Elimination Communication) you can start even earlier and it does work. The whole readiness thing is a myth (though I do think it applies to night potty training)
I think the simple answer is Shan hasnt really tried hard enough. You need to give it 3-4 full days and your full attention to catch the signs that your child is about to pee or poop. It sounds as if she just expects him to do it all and she was potty training him while looking after a small baby, which is a massive no no.
Long story short, after two kids she still has no clue what she is doing. No one should be taking advice from this woman.
It sounds to me like she’s feeling really down on herself that her channel hasn’t expanded the way she wanted it to be. She’s obviously very money driven and is keen to work to make it happen. However, she clearly doesn’t enjoy being the SAHP and is struggling with having a bigger “purpose” whilst on mat leave - nothing wrong with this and wanting to work. She doesn’t really want to work in the usual 9-5 type job and she doesn’t want to be a SAHP. She wants to work at home with her work focused on parenting but not do the parenting that will give her work. Make it make sense Shan.No way will she take a year unpaid
First time poster on this thread! Watched Shan for a long time, her hospital bag videos helped me when I was clueless with my first!
I have read threads for a good while and people questioning her husband, I noticed in the Q&A she didn’t have any wedding rings etc on, is this pretty standard?! Xx

I can’t believe he’s still having about 5 accidents a week almost a year on. This just screams how much of a pathetic attempt she’s gave it, she forced him into it when he probably wasn’t ready and just expected him to take to it from day 1. Please no one tell me this many accidents is actually normal because we’ve not started yet and I’m already not looking forward to it!? 
she usually has her rings on

We potty trained at New Year and by day 5 we had no accidents and hadn’t had an accident in about 5ish weeks! So definitely is not like how she described, for us anyway!
We also still use a pull up for night time, would rather that than change sheets in the night!
It can vary for everyone but it took my LG about 4 days to crack the basics and any accidents we had were more misses of not getting to the toilet quick enough. Within 2 weeks it was as if day nappies never existed. It does take some kids a bit of time to adjust getting used to under pants but even then it only takes a day or two for them to adjust. We did have a minor regression about 4 months in where she would say "I need a wee" but then go right there but that only lasted maybe a week. 8 months later and we only rely on night nappies and can get away with only carrying one pair of spare clothing (though I carry more just in case)I can’t believe he’s still having about 5 accidents a week almost a year on.

) and even then not had to use them! You have to be committed and really responsive when they say they need to go, which Shan probably hasn't been. Pretty sure she started potty training well before my LG started too. I know it's not a competition but it shouldn't take that long to still not be mostly accident free. The oh crap book is what we used for daytime training and really recommend it. My biggest tip is when they do have an accident, don't make it a big deal and try not make any loud noises as that can make them think they're doing something wrong and can lead to them holding it or going to hide and do it.
Paid promotion, first thing I noticed. Never heard of better help but you can get FREE talking therapy from the NHS if you are suffering with depression or post natal depression or anxiety. I hope noone uses that code and pays for it, she will just promote anything it's soo annoying. She's got her hair and makeup done, sat in her favourite room and 
she's wearing a new hoody so that will be her next reel... More discount codes and affiliate links etc. she's commented on the post asking how everyone is etc but then not responded to a single comment 
AHH, bar one! Only a minute in

Only a minute in I've heard of better help but only through American youtubers. I've just googled how much it costs and it's £40-70 per week. I'm hoping to see that expense in he next montlhy expenses breakdown video!!!
I didn't wear my engagement ring for maybe the first 6 months after having my baby because I was worried it would scratch her but did have my wedding band on. I've just scanned her Insta and she did have it on until the start of Feb according to pictures!I’m also interested by this talk of missing wedding rings
Honestly just everything she says seems so fake, it's actually quite sad like I don't even feel sorry for her because I think it's all made up. She says whatever to fit whatever it is she's trying to promote or sell
