Many parents are advised to wait until their child shows an interest in the potty because it’ll be easier. In my latest blog, I explain why this approach is failing our society and what parents can do instead to make potty training a smooth, successful process. rebeccamottram.com/2025/05/07/w...

When you are as passionate as I am about ensuring that all parents have access to evidence-based guidance that actually works, you tend to do a lot of work for free. Getting recognition for this work makes such a difference and I really appreciate this review! www.rebeccamottram.com/books/

For over 12 years, I have been raising awareness of the dangers of disposable nappies - both for children's development and for the environment so I am delighted to support #BigToiletProject. Please contribute! www.bigtoiletproject.org

The vast majority of potty training approaches are not child centred. Because parents have been led to believe that they must wait until their child is "ready" before teaching potty skills (a tactic which sells nappies) they delay their child's natural development www.rebeccamottram.com/podcast/

Humans are not designed to wee and poo lying down. The ideal position is squatting which allows the bladder and bowel to fully empty. Helping your baby get into the right position aids healthy bladder and bowel development and prevents common potty training problems developing later.

Why won't your child cooperate with #pottytraining? You won't believe the difference it makes to just tweak the way you speak. Using playful, positive language and giving information empowers your child to problem solve and cooperate without resistance or consent issues. (Full video on #Instagram)
