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”.
