Potty training can feel so overwhelming, especially for first-time moms like Dr. Leah. She knew she needed to cross that bridge eventually, and she is so grateful that Dr. Morgan and her are best friends and she knows so much about it. Dr Morgan wanted to share everything Dr Leah needed to know about this process so they decided that instead of having a private conversation about it, they should record it and share it with you too! Whether you are a first-time mom navigating this season, already have kids but want to see what approach she recommends for your next child, or don't even have kids yet, this is an incredibly valuable episode where we talk all about the potty.
