Dwarf Runner Beans

[interele]

I am trying to grow some dwarf runner beans in pots. They seem to be going quite well but the first leaves that appeared are now falling off. Is it normal for them to lose those leaves once they get going or am I doing something wrong

Where are they in your garden? Make sure they have sun, and that you are watering them a lot (but not letting them stand in water).

Are you posting from your phone, NICA? All the abbreviations make your interesting response quite difficult to read!

They are in the sunshine and watered regularly. Only the 2 leaves that
they started with are dropping off . They are a slightly different shape
to the other ones. I wondered if the plant abandons them once it gets
a decent number of it's proper leaves or if this bods ill for their health

Yes inerele,
Its natural for the to lose their seed leaves, as they have no further purpose.
