Starting Elimination Communication With Your Baby: A Step by Step Guide to EC…

Elimination Communication – what a cumbersome word, right?

I’ve always liked to call it ‘Baby Pottying’, though it is also called a plethora of names like infant or baby potty training, natural infant hygiene or assisted infant toiletting!

What they all mean is that you help your baby to go to the toilet somewhere other than in their nappy or diaper, some of the time, using a combination of cue sounds, common timing opportunities, spotting signs, developing joint signals and refining your intuition.

Mothers are attracted to this concept for many reasons. Perhaps it caught your attention for one of these reasons:

To save money on diapers. Disposable diapers used full time for a minimum of two years will set you back a decent wodge of cash, that’s for sure, and if you end up having two or three kids, this number can run into thousands…
As a ‘new’ way to bond with your baby. Many mothers are attracted to the unmistakeable appeal of ‘knowing’ their baby so well that they can anticipate baby’s need to wee or poo and help them do it on a potty or toilet rather that have to always clean up after the fact. Among mothers who didn’t know about elimination communication, I’ll bet every single one of them knows their baby’s ‘poo face’, they just didn’t know of the reasonable and traditional option of popping baby on a potty at those times…
Simply for the benefit of skipping messy nappy changes. That’s a no-brainer. Poopy nappies are yuk. Everyone would like to change them less. Imaging skipping 50% of them? 80% of them? Some families skip nearly all messy diaper changes, and merely have wet nappies to change. It simplifies things considerably…
As part of a general natural approach to baby care. Some mothers find elimination communication when they adopt certain more natural parenting styles, such as extended breastfeeding past 6 months, or co-sleeping with their baby so everyone gets more sleep, or baby wearing to keep baby calm and happy. Others discover baby potty training first then discover these ideas flow naturally out of that, making their elimination communication easier. If you’ve read other articles on my site, you’ll have seen how each of these ideas makes EC easier…
For Sustainability and Environmentalism. More of a bonus is the positive feelings about helping reduce the environmental impact of a baby, which can be quite considerable, considering they are a tiny little thing! Each potty visit means less resources used, which is ultimately a feel-good vibe for us as parents. It’s nice to know that your baby sometimes uses the toilet just as you would, nothing disposable heading off to the dump, little or less need for wipes, and plastic nappy bags, and less laundry washing…

So, how DO you get started with Elimination Communication?

A step by step guide will help you to dive right into this ancient and traditional practice… You can follow along, read through some strategies and incorporate them straight into your day from the start. Starting tomorrow, starting today!

A stage by stage guide to doing baby potty training will allow you to fast-track months of finding your way by trial and error. Having a clear series of activities to master will rocket your discoveries about your baby as you develop a singular confidence about how ec works within your own unique lifestyle.

Rather than wondering if and when to start, simply start. Babies are smart, and so are you! Babies are adaptable and so are you. Except, elimination communication in the modern way does not require adaptation – you still rely on nappies or diapers in between potty visits to give you peace of mind, a clean environment as it were.

Folks who tell you that to do elimination communication means you must remove the nappy for good and stagger through a confusing and messy stage of frustrating learning to do it ‘right’ are just deluding themselves and are really a bit misguided. Diapers were invented for a reason, and you will use them when starting EC and at different stages of baby potty training, be reassured of that! You can discover an easier way.

With Elimination communication you can enhance the communication you share with your baby in amazing ways, allowing you to use less diapers, buy less diapers, change and wash less diapers and be ‘done’ with them sooner than the average of approaching three years in the things that is common these days.
