When should a toddler have outgrown nappies? Parenting expert and child psychologist Dr Pat Spungin, CEO of Raisingkids.co.uk, advises.

Raisingkids member's problem
My 15 month-old is still in nappies - should I be concerned? Should she be able to tell me when she wants to go to toilet by now? If not, what age should I expect it? I'm worried in case I'm being too lax about toilet training her, and concerned that it'll lead to problems later.

Dr Spungin's advice
Most children are out of nappies between 24 and 36 months. So don't worry - she's still very young and will probably be in nappies for another year or maybe more. For more help on this topic, see Toilet-Training Tips .
