Infant Potty Training is also known as EC, elimination communication, having a diaper free baby or toilet training your baby.
Parents practicing elimination communication are sharing their stories with you in their own words in this section of Tribal Baby…
Adventures in Elimination Communication:
“Some of the caregivers were willing to potty him while others didn’t take the time and put him in diapers. In short, there were times where I was away when no one pottied him. Upon my return, we had no problem picking up where we had left off. It did not jeopardize his progress to stop for a few days. While I would not recommend anyone purposefully stopping for no particular reason, it is good to know that a break does not automatically spell doom.”
The most important thing about Infant Potty Training is that no-one can give advice about it unless they have practiced it themselves, it is such an experience based activity. Ignore the ‘rantings’ from people who have ‘heard’ this or that – those are opinions based on lack of experience. Form your own opinions! (Have your own fun…) Learn from the experts – the mothers and their babies! Then discover EC with YOUR baby…

Elimination Communication is a cumbersome term for a simple concept: helping your baby to pee in a potty from their early days to give them comfort and a clean diaper – at least some of the time!

‘Late Starters’ assumes your child is older that 6 months and even likely older than one year (in which case the above is even more important and should be given some thought). When starting after 6 months, we tend to have different questions and concerns than parents who start in early infancy.
Infant pottying can be started at any stage, though the ideal ‘window for opportunity’ is considered to be from birth to 6 months. The period after 6 months (termed Late-Starters) – requires extra effort, sensitivity and most of all patience due to baby going through many developmental stages (teething, sitting, crawling, walking, etc.) – it becomes a matter of priority (baby’s not mommy’s!). As a child reaches 2.5 to 3 years old the overload of learning lessens and he again become open to pottying, which is why this is traditionally considered the ideal ‘potty training’ age.
There are few set-in-stone rules to the process, it can be adapted to suit your family and lifestyle – it is not an all-or-nothing endeavour and can be practiced part-time as long as you are fairly consistent.
EC is a gentle, nurturing co-operation between baby and mother. The only inflexible rule to EC is it must be ‘approached with love, commitment, patience, and practice’. Therefore, any talk of child abandonment (such as the cry it out method) or punitive parenting practices (such as the Pearls or Ezzo) is not appropriate.

Elimination Communication is a truly baby-led approach to hygiene that results in a massive reduction in reliance on diapers or nappies over many months, in fact two years. So, yes, it is a gradual process – not a sprint to the finish!
Investing the time is very worthwhile for the many benefits it offers you and your baby. Imagine only seldom changing a poopy diaper – that is what EC meant for us – and I am SO GLAD we raised our baby this way!! Changing nappies or diapers soon became a thing of the past. Wet things were easy to chuck in the washing. Poos went in the loo with EC.
