Can it really be time to think about a potty? Yes, and it's not as scary as it sounds!
It might feel bizarre to see the words ‘potty training’ while your baby is still so small, but advice from ERIC (the UK’s children’s bladder and bowel charity) has recently been updated and now encourages parents to think about ‘potty learning’ from the time their baby can sit up on their own. Here's what you need to know now about this approach which is based on clinical evidence and research compiled by ERIC and their partners.
Potty training is one of the areas of parenting which feels incredibly important, and can be quite daunting. There is a mountain of information out there being shared online, by friends and family and by professionals. The quality of advice, and research, can vary enormously and can also become outdated quickly as new research is carried out.
