Elimination Communication


Basically, it's being in tune with baby's nonverbal cues of when they are going potty and putting them over a potty instead of in the diaper.

I've been doing EC with Zoamore since she was 6 weeks old, about 2 weeks now. We go through the whole night dry as I can tell when she needs to go better when I'm sleeping! When she needs to poop she'll kick and sometimes make a funny squeak. She's often content sitting on the potty and sometimes after she's done her business she passes out! As you can tell from this picture.

She often cries when she's wet herself in a diaper until I change it so I think she likes using potty too. Plus I rarely have to change a poopy diaper now, yay :)

This is a great website about EC... http://www.tribalbaby.org/ECindex.html
