Potty Training is the term we use to refer to helping your child reach the major developmental milestone of toilet independence (stopping using nappies.) There is no lower age limit to when children can start learning potty-related skills, and whatever age you are ready to help your child make this transition, our resources can help you.
Our research-evidence based approach is the gold standard and follows new guidance to start potty training earlier.
The Go Potty resources include:
- The Baby Pottying Guide for children aged 0-18 months
- The Go Potty Training Guide for when you want to help your child stop using nappies.
- The Go Potty Podcast
- Private, one to one consultations with Rebecca to solve any potty related problems for children aged 0-6 years.
Whether you're just starting out or need help along the way, Go Potty is your trusted friend in this important milestone.

- Potty resistance and refusal (including challenging behaviour)

- Night time wetting

A private consultation takes account of your particular situation and finds solutions tailored to your specific needs, unique child and your parenting style.
Hi, I’m Rebecca Mottram
I'm a children's Nurse, potty learning consultant and parent of 2 children who used the potty from birth. As a health professional, I understand the importance of having an evidence base for the care I give. That's why I created the Go Potty resources to help you to work in partnership with your child in a gentle but effective way that is based on good, peer-reviewed research.
Potty training is a time of great leaps and bounds for your child. Research clearly shows that we need to potty train earlier to give our children the best chance in achieving this key milestone. My course is designed to help you do that in a way that honours you both.
