Two attempts. One weekend. The moment that changes how you see your baby forever.
What if your baby has been trying to tell you something — and nobody ever taught you how to listen?
Every time your baby cries, you run through the list.
Hungry? Tired? Gas? Overstimulated?
You try everything. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. And somewhere in the back of your mind, you wonder if you’re missing something.
You are.
Your baby was born knowing how to communicate when they need to go to the bathroom. Not in a few years. Right now. Today. And every time they go in a diaper without anyone noticing — they learn, slowly, to stop trying to tell you.
This weekend, you find out what it feels like to notice.
This is not potty training.
It is not a lifestyle overhaul. It is not something that requires a perfect schedule, a stay-at-home situation, or a baby who cooperates on command.
It is two attempts. The weekend of June 27th. In the hours you already have at home with your baby.
By Sunday evening, you will have real information about your own baby that most parents never get — and you will understand what that full-body exhale, that sudden calm, that look on their face actually means.
Most moms who try it catch something on their very first attempt. And once they see it, they cannot unsee it.
What real moms said after their first catch weekend...
“My mind is blown. I thought I had a fussy baby. I thought she had trapped gas. What we should have been doing is putting her on a potty.”
“My favorite part is seeing how capable my baby is."
“Heather! I caught today's poop at my mom's house and every pee except one from the moment she woke up today! Feeling so in tune with my baby and I am so grateful!!"
“Now that we have started, I cannot imagine going back!”
"I caught 3 out of 5 poos yesterday with my 15 week old - including one in a sink whilst I was in town shopping with a friend - she was amazed!
"I like seeing how much confidence my little 3 month old has gained over the last couple of days! He is so much less fussy and has been more vocal in his coos!"
"My favorite thing about this is being able to recognize my child's needs and the smile on her face every time i respond to them and catch a poop or pee."
"I'm baffled by how easy it's going."
Here is how the weekend works.
Friday June 27th — The Brief One short email lands in your inbox before the weekend begins. It covers exactly what you need to know to walk into Saturday with confidence — what to look for, how to respond, and how to set yourself up so the first attempt actually works. No experience required. No prep work before Friday. Just read it when the kids are in bed.
Saturday June 28th — The First Try Saturday morning you get your assignment. One specific moment with your baby — simple, clear, and completely doable even if you have a full day ahead of you. You will know exactly what to do and exactly what to watch for.
Sunday June 29th — The Double Down Sunday’s email meets you where Saturday left you. Whether you caught or not, you get a clear explanation of what happened and one small adjustment that makes your second attempt even stronger.
By Sunday evening you have something most parents never have: a real conversation with your baby. Before any words. Before any training. Just you, reading them — and them, finally being heard.
The calm after the catch.
That is what moms talk about when they describe this moment. Not the logistics. Not the diaper saved. The way their baby’s whole body relaxes. The quiet that follows. The look on their face that says you heard me.
That is what this weekend is actually about.
Who built this.
Heather Medlin is a professional architect, a mom of three, and the woman behind @readyfrombirth.ec. She potty trained two babies before their first birthday — while working full-time.
She did not start with this from the beginning. Her oldest was conventionally potty trained at two. She knows exactly what that experience feels like — and why she never went back.
She is not a stay-at-home mom. She is not a natural parenting purist. She is the mom with a messy bun and a toddler on her shoulders, reading Peter Rabbit at 7am, catching her baby's poop before the daycare-preschool-work run.
She built this weekend for the mom who wants to know if this is real — before committing to anything more.
If you are thinking any of these things...
“Is my baby too old for this?” This weekend is designed for babies 0–12 months. In that window, your baby is still operating on pure instinct — no baked-in habits, no psychology, no defiance. Just signals. The older a baby gets, the more layers you are working through, and that is a different conversation entirely. If your baby is under 12 months, you are in the right place.
“Do I need to buy anything before I start?” No. The only thing you need is the toilet already in your house. No special seat, no mini potty, no gear. Friday’s email tells you exactly how to use what you already have.
“Does this mean giving up diapers?” No. I still use diapers. This is not about going diaper-free. It is about adding a layer of communication on top of what you are already doing. You keep the diapers, you just stop missing the signals underneath them.
“My baby is in daycare all day.” This weekend happens at home. Daycare is not part of it. The time you are already spending with your baby is more than enough to start.
“I don’t know anything about this.” That is exactly why this exists. You do not need to know anything before Friday. The brief tells you everything you need for two attempts.
“What if nothing happens?” Sunday’s email covers exactly that. Caught or not, you will leave the weekend with a clear answer and one adjustment to make. You will not be left without a next step.
“I’ve heard this can cause bladder or bowel problems later.” The research does not support this. Babies in many parts of the world are raised this way — this is not a trend, it is the default in cultures where disposable diapers are not the norm. What causes problems is the opposite: teaching a baby to ignore their body’s signals for years, then asking them to suddenly tune back in. This weekend does not train your baby to hold it on demand. It teaches you to notice when they are already ready to go — and respond. That is not pressure. That is attention.
