Potty Training Expert

Amber Hatch is the author of Nappy Free Baby; a practical guide to baby-led potty training from birth (Vermilion 2015). Baby-led potty training (BLPT) is a gentle, intuitive method of responding to baby's toileting needs. Drawing inspiration from cultures where nappies are used sparingly, BLPT is a method for keeping baby cleaner and happier in a busy modern world. Amber is a childminder, teacher and writer who discovered (BLPT) shortly after the birth of her first baby in 2008. Amazed by the success of the method, she set up www.nappyfreebaby.co.uk to provide a UK source of information for families. She runs free monthly BLPT workshops in Oxford to support other parents and offers a consultation service. Amber practises Buddhist meditation and uses mindfulness to inform her approach to parenting. She is working to establish the first mindful parenting support group. She and her husband, Alex, live in Oxford with their two children.
