In this episode Rebecca answers one of the most common questions: When is the right time to stop using nappies? Discover the optimal timing for ditching nappies and learn why the concept of “readiness” is a myth and what essential skills your child needs to manage without nappies.

Rebecca shares her practical checklist to help you assess your child’s capabilities, and discusses the importance of preparation through developing body awareness and practising using the potty.

Tune in to understand how to transition smoothly from nappies and set your child up for potty training success.
