The Truth About Potty Training

In this eye-opening podcast episode, we unpack the truth about
potty training, nappies, toilet learning, constipation, poo
withholding, and the “readiness” myth many parents are told to
follow. A research nurse explains why children historically potty
trained much earlier, how disposable nappies changed parenting
culture, and why waiting for “signs of readiness” may be causing
more problems than parents realise. We also discuss toddler
constipation, bowel health, potty refusal, anxiety around pooing,
and practical ways to make potty training gentler and less
stressful for both children and parents. Essential listening for
parents of toddlers navigating toilet training struggles, poo
withholding, accidents, or delayed potty training.
