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.

36 Hours (and counting)

We're at 37 hours with the same prefold! I made it through the night last night without a problem. Elie slept naked under a blanket and I woke up without a problem each time he shifted to pee and he peed each time pretty quickly after he woke up. I peed him in bed in the BB insert rather than taking him to the bathroom - maybe taking him to the bathroom causes him to start nursing first instead of peeing first. Sometimes when I take him to the bathroom, I get impatient waiting for him to pee and give up, but last night, he always peed pretty much right away. There were 3 or 4 pees overnight and 12 pees and 2 poops so far during the day.
