Thank you so much everyone for your kind replies. You have given me some excellent ideas.

At this stage though, I feel like letting the snot run out so we could wipe it would be a huge step for us. It’s the sniffing and swallowing that just does my head (and stomach) in although I realise there are issues with that as well.

Ahhh, there is so much about babyhood and toddlerhood to cry about and miss when they grow out of it, but geez I am going to be throwing the party to end all parties when we can leave this stage behind.
