Elimination Communication (Infant Potty Training)

Please don’t critize my decision to EC. It’s something I feel strong about, every parent knows what’s best for their family/lifestyle. This is just something that works for us. If you have any questions, just ask me and I will make another video or message you back.

What is Elimation Communication?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_communication

(EC) is a practice in which a caregiver uses timing, signals, cues, and intuition to address an infant’s need to eliminate waste. Typically the goal is to partially or completely avoid the use of diapers. EC emphasizes communication between the caregiver and child, helping them both become more attuned to the child’s innate rhythms and control of urination and defecation. The term “elimination communication” was inspired by traditional practices of diaper-less baby care in less industrialized countries and hunter-gatherer cultures. Some practitioners of EC begin soon after birth, although it can be started with babies of any age
