Elimination Communication

Hey ladies! I am wondering what your favorite diaper bag is that fits your infant potty, extra wipes (disposable and reusable) and backup diapers (disposable and cloth), a change of clothes, and anything else you might want to have with you. What do you guys use and what are your must haves for your potty/diaper bag? Thanks!

My son was having lots of dry days at 18 months and has rapidly regressed an no longer asks to go. Only for poops will he ask. Unless we are out and about the he will ask.

At home he wears cotton pants and will wee and say wee the moment he starts weeing. Then at nursery he wears training pants and he will just wee in them and doesn’t seem to be bothered by being wet at nursery at all and doesn’t even say anything to the staff anymore. I feel so lost and confused! 😕 does anyone have any advice.

I have been putting my now almost 17 month old on the potty and doing EC since he was about 8 months old. By the time he was 11 months, he was doing 95% of poos on his potty and we had a great routine going. Shortly after, I went back to work and he started going to a childminder and he's regressed further and further since. We're now at a point where he's refusing to sit on the potty and will only poo in his nappy. He's a NIGHTMARE to try and clean up after he's pooed in his nappy as hates being held still and it causes so much stress for both of us. I'm honestly at my wits end with it. The odd occasion we still do manage to get a poo on the potty or toilet, it's a such a relief. We used to sit him on the potty and play and make it really fun. He was always happy with this until a month or two ago, when he started just running away and refusing to sit. I bought a toilet seat instead and he happily sits on there and plays etc, but won't poo on there. He did occasionally go to his potty on his own and sit on it for a few seconds and have the tiniest wee (and once a poo), but the last few days is even refusing to do that and won't even go anywhere near it. Does anyone have any tips for encouraging him to use the potty again? (Please don't suggest books as he hates being read to)

I just got a potty for my 6 month old and have been popping her on top right before a diaper change (fully dressed) and making potty noises and saying stuff to her about going to the bathroom. Then I say “let’s clean up “ and bring her to the changing table to swap her diaper out.

Is this a good idea or can I potentially cause her issues later on when she is older by doing this?

Just wondering if anyone practices ec with their child who attends a daycare/nursery and how it works? I currently am on maternity leave but going back in January. I know it’s too much of an ask to ask the workers if they can continue ec as they have a lot to do already but is there any point of me continuing this before and after his sessions? He is booked in 8am to 3pm. Thanks in advance 😊
