What is Elimination Communication?

Elimination Communication (EC) is an ancient practice of tuning in to a baby's elimination patterns and signals and responding to the baby's needs.  In this way, babies can live diaper-free!  Might sound crazy at first, but it's truly a beautiful thing!  Ingrid Bauer is an expert in the field - read more on her website.

Long period of dryness / receptacle

Today was Yoav's first Suzuki music class. I peed Elie before we left at 12:30. While we were gone, he mostly slept in the wrap, but he woke to nurse once and cried a little and nursed on the way home. When we arrived home, Elie's diaper wwas dry! I took him to pee in the bathtub and he peed and pooped right away.

On the receptacle issue, I've found a solution for the Bjorn potty insert - I put my hand just in front on the pee guard. Other than getting pee on my hand, this works perfectly!
