Hello Hunters! Welcome to Tribal Baby.
I started Tribal Baby back in 2005 shortly after my first son was born to help share my experiences with elimination communication.
At that time there were two books available, and little else besides online forums and a few blogs which no longer exist. I used the site as a way to blog about our EC journey as I discovered many fascinating things via this ancient way of connecting with my baby. I wanted to share the thrills I experienced. We did EC from when he was born, it was great fun. On the sidebar of Tribal Baby you can see a link where I share our personal experiences as a collection…
Since then, I have another son and did Elimination Communication with him from birth as well. A different journey, as he had CTEV (Talipes, or a clubfoot) and so was in a series of 12 plaster casts until he was 3 months old and then a brace 23 hours a day until he was about 1 year old and then for 12 hours a day (well, nights) until just days ago, at the end of July when he turned four. It has been a long journey also since my little boy was also diagnosed with a Global Developmental Delay and PDD-NOS, an Autism Spectrum Disorder and which requires weekly speech therapy and occupational therapy. I nearly passed out when I realised this therapy costs $2200 a term! We do thankfully get assistance from the Australian government for some of the costs. Perhaps my helpful bundle of elimination communication resources will help our family.
My Helpful Bundle of Elimination Communication Resources
I recently released all my resources as an eBook for mothers interested in EC to buy for $2.99. It’s called simply “Part Time EC” as that is how everyone starts, and how many families continue with elimination communication with the busy busy lives of today.
I included the 4 bonus guides I have developed to help with aspects of practicing EC, Preparing for EC with your Baby, Baby Led Pottying, Elimination Communication and Travel and Reconnecting Tips for Potty Pauses, and my popular “7 Secrets of Elimination Communication“, which was the free online guided tour that I created to get all this started.

Part Time Elimination Communication: Can YOU Do it?
Part Time Elimination Communication means… flexibility. Helping your baby to use a baby potty or to ‘toilet’ is great fun!
You Can Do EC!
How and when to start varies with each family. It means different things when your baby is a tiny newborn to when they are crawling, to when they are toddlers.
Elimination Communication is often described as an early start to potty training or ‘toilet training your baby’ but it is really a gradual and natural alternative way of caring for your baby’s hygiene needs, and guess what? You can do it part time, use nappies more casually…
NOW is the best time to start – when you have learnt about this different form of natural toilet learning.
Part Time Nappy or Diaper Free means… using nappies with your baby – but not ALL of the time, not 24/7 for year after year. YES! – you’ll still use diapers – they catch accidents between potty visits – BUT you’ll be using nappies as a tool, not as an essential item.
Then one day you realise you don’t need them anymore – no more nappy changing – only quality time with your little one.
Practicing elimination communication means different things from one day to the next, one month to the next… you’ll need to be able to adapt – you can be flexible, can’t you?
Of course you can – if you can be flexible, you can practice EC – the ancient art of Elimination Communication, often described as Natural Infant Hygiene or Infant Potty Training. EC is something you ‘practice’ daily – an ongoing activity, not something you are perfect at straight away, or ever really – as it isn’t about perfection at all – it is about the opportunity for baby to relieve themselves somewhere other than their clothes, and the communication and bond this develops between you. All sorts of families are enjoying it with their babies:
The difference between struggling to hold my baby while changing his nappy and holding him nice and close while he sits on the potty is huge… I feel like I listen to him more and ask questions, expecting to get a response in a way I wouldn’t really have expected before. I like that he is an active part of his eliminating in a positive way and not just lying there while I clean up the “mess” he’s made.”
Sunshine, mother of 3 children, ages 6, 3 (both conventionally toilet trained) and 9 months (practicing Elimination Communication from birth)
Families all over the world and throughout time have used this gentle way of helping baby to stay clean and dry as much as they can (yes, not all the time), and more importantly, they enjoy the communication with their pre-verbal little baby, the insight into their world this window can open up – it is why people get hooked when they take the plunge and have a go!
Being part time nappy or diaper free is about the communication with your baby, NOT about early toilet training. Again – it is NOT about early toilet training – that is something different. EC is about the bond between parents and baby / toddler, developing your relationship into new areas of understanding.
Yes, practicing EC CAN mean your toddler achieves earlier independence, but it is not a given, as EC is about their personal journey – and many things in life can ‘happen’ and fluff around with that journey.
Meanwhile you will likely use far less nappies / diapers than their peers, which is great for your budget, the environment and your washing load.
Like any option, of course, if it doesn’t interest you – don’t do it! People practicing EC see it as a bond with their babies, not a competition to independence, not a way of being better – it is simply better for them.
… Perhaps it will be for your family as well?

Elimination Communication: What is EC?
Elimination Communication: What is EC?
What EC is…
In a nutshell, Elimination Communication is about the Communication.
- It is about helping your baby to go ‘to the toilet’ somewhere other than a nappy, some of the time, then more of the time as they grow!
- It is about learning to observe baby’s bodily rhythms, body language and practicing responding in such a way that your connection is enhanced, benefiting your whole relationship.
- It is about sometimes anticipating the needs of a pre-verbal human being and experiencing their joy that you understand them. You strive to improve your bond.
- It is about gently supporting their instinctual awareness of their body and attempting to understand them, and helping them feel ‘relieved’.
- It is about using nappies as a tool rather than anecessity.
- It is about reducing the ‘ecological footprint’ of waste generated by a brand new human.
- It is about enhancing your connection and understanding of your baby’s needs – often into other areas of their care, and this is really empowering!
- It is gentle and responsive, or it is not Elimination Communication. YOU can do it!
What EC isn’t…
- It isn’t coercive – force is NEVER used.
- It isn’t punitive – the baby is NEVER punished.
- It isn’t a new age fad – it’s a traditional practice.
- It isn’t early toilet training – it’s gradual, gentle toilet learning.
- It doesn’t mean you can’t use nappies – you will.
- It doesn’t mean you have to stare at your baby all day – you’ll carry on as usual, and enjoy the ways of learning with your baby how to meet their needs.
- It doesn’t mean you’ll never need to use nappies after a certain age or period of time – every Elimination Communication journey is unique – like each baby.
- It doesn’t mean you’ll have to try to catch every elimination your baby does – that isn’t the point, and is impossible anyway.
“Funny how the new things are the old things.”
Rudyard Kipling (1865 – 1936)
When practicing Elimination Communication you help your baby to be clean and dry until they gain independence in their own time, at their own pace – gradually. You’ll be part time nappy free until you become nappy free at the right time for your family and your baby. You can learn the skills and abilities to bond with your baby in this way.
Is Elimination Communication a better way?
No, being part time nappy free is another way of addressing a baby’s hygiene needs instead of full time use of nappies and needing to change every nappy for years. EC is a parenting option – one you are lucky to be able to consider for your own family’s needs.
People who practice EC definitely find it is the better way for them. I’d never be able to use nappies full time – that would be impossible for me to do, so normal is offering baby a wee opportunity when he needs it.
Is it for you? My complimentary, free eBook, with seven 7 lessons, Discover the 7 Secrets to Elimination Communication will help you to decide if it is the right thing for your family. You’ll probably be surprised how adaptable you can be with practicing EC in your personal situation.
