The Baby Pottying Guide
Based on over 6 years of research and work with parents, in July 2019 Rebecca published her first book, The Baby Pottying Guide.
This practical, evidence-based book is the first of its kind. It includes detailed explanations, images and videos to support parents to safely and successfully introduce the potty from birth to toddlerhood. This book is about gently introducing the potty to babies as a daily familiar practise in preparation for potty training a toddler. Potty training refers to the specific time in the potty learning journey when you let go of nappies and begin the transition to being toilet independent. Based on attachment parenting principles and rooted in the science of child development and a rich research evidence base, this amazing book gives you the what, why and how-to to support you on your potty learning journey.
