I can't wait for you to watch me on the Parent Unplugged podcast. In what was described as an "eye opening" episode, I unpack the readiness myth, the impact of nappies on toilet learning, toddler constipation, bowel health, potty refusal, anxiety around pooing... youtu.be/3OYXEDpqnHk?...

Does your child withhold their wee, procrastinate about weeing or seem anxious about weeing? To understand why this happens and what supportive strategies I recommend, read my blog "5 tips to understand toddler wee withholding and anxiety" rebeccamottram.com/2024/03/21/5...

Babies who use the potty sleep better, feed better, don't suffer with colic or happy rash, have improved communication skills, mobility skills and bladder and bowel health. Potty Learning shouldn't be a difficult transition during the tough toddler years, make it a gentle part of everyday life.

Every time the media pick up a new report, study or statistics that are released about toileting, I grit my teeth and wait for the parent shaming to happen. And it always does. #SchoolReadiness

Babies begin learning about toileting from birth. A gentle, gradual process of mastering over 40 skills with independence achieved typically between 12-18 months. But then we invented disposable nappies which disrupted this natural learning process...

Nurse Rebecca Mottram @rebeccamottram.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

As a potty learning expert, I advocate for parents to be aware of the impact that disposable nappy use has on their child's physical and social development and their bladder and bowel health. If parents knew the true impact, baby pottying would once again be the norm in our culture.

Congratulations to @beckysauerbrunn.bsky.social! Many kids become distressed at the idea of "losing" their poop. A great way to prevent this is to introduce the potty from birth so it's always a familiar and accepted part of life and the transition to potty training/letting go of nappies is gentler.

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/

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/

Nurse Rebecca Mottram @rebeccamottram.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

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)

Hi, I'm Rebecca Mottram and I'm a children's #nurse. I am an expert in Potty Learning, author, podaster and an advocate for the vital importance of introducing the potty in infancy. Doing so is best for children's bladder and bowel health and is aligned with their natural development arc.
