into the bathroom alone?

She still needs help onto the loo so I have to help her with that but I have a massive fear of her drowning in the toilet/bath and am dreading her not needing me with her. Friends of mine with kids who are potty trained seem to let them go alone which makes me think IABU.
I also cringe when she plays with toys with small bits that she could choke on.

I suffer with anxiety and panic attacks mostly about my kids safety so I am quite willing to take it on board if IABU.

I am such a neurotic worrier that my friends have nicknamed me 'Health & Safety'Grin, but even I wouldn't worry too much about her being alone in the bathroom. Obviously not in the bath alone, (although I do the singing thing too with my 3 year old dd)but otherwise it should be fine.
If she can wipe, flush etc on the loo she sounds pretty independent anyway. Does she still put little things in her mouth? If not I wouldn't worry about choking hazards either.
Acyually my dd is fiercely independent and doesn't want me coming to the loo with her, but I don't fully trust her to wipe properly so always do check afterwards.
Go with the swimming thing as everyone says.

My dd is constantly putting things in her mouth & I know this sounds awful but I have taken to telling her if she swallows anything she will have to go to hospital and have it cut out & it will hurt. My mum was like this Shock when she heard me the other day, but I caught her with 2 pennies in her mouth so I am happy to try & scare her out of it!

Hope you feel a bit better soon though op.
