Elimination Communication

A place for practitioners of and those interested in EC. Elimination communication (EC) is the art of using timing, signals, cues, and intuition to address an infant's need to eliminate waste into an appropriate place (e.g. toilet) rather than a diaper. Practiced full-time, part-time, or occasionally with babies who are younger than standard “potty training age”.

Pull-ups for new walkers?

Thinking of teaching my little one to pull down her pants but she’s quite small- What’s the smallest brand of pull-ups you know of?

How to go from toilet hovering to toilet sitting?

I’ve been doing EC since 4 months, now 14 months. I’m tired of hovering / squatting awkwardly at the toilet and she’s been less inclined to go at her normal times too (pushes and cries so I don’t force her) but still some catches.

What’s the next step? I have a seat she could climb but the hole is too big for her little bum, and a little potty but wouldn’t I have to retrain her for the big toilet eventually? Idk

Just what’s next?

Lazy EC to potty training?

I’ve been doing a lazy version of EC with my daughter (now 13 months) since she was 4 months. I put her on the potty after sleeping/naps and when she is obviously about to poo.

I’m wondering how we advance from this to full potty training and when? She’s just taking her first steps so can’t walk to the potty by herself yet and doesn’t know the sign (we’re trying to teach her, she sometimes uses the “all done” sign instead 🤪)

Starting lazy/easy EC

My little one is nearly 12 weeks & we'd like to start, just want to check I have it right that we're going to sit him on the potty before/after naps/sleep & feeding, before/after bath - does anyone have any other advice or tips? Also, he was 4 weeks premature, will this matter? Thank you!
