Episode 4 - Potty Practice: Preparing Your Child For Success
Description
In this episode, Rebecca shares her top five tips for successful potty practice. Potty practice helps your child develop the essential skill of knowing where wee and poo belong. Research shows that introducing your baby to a potty early can promote healthy bladder and bowel function. You don’t have to wait until you’re ready to ditch the nappies to start potty practice!
