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.

First outdoor pee

We met friends at a playground in Central Park today at 11am and then went to Whole Foods for lunch. Elie wore his Poquitos and was dry all night and until about 4pm when he peed while we were waiting for the subway. He peed twice outside in the grass at the playground and once in the bathroom at Whole Foods. He was wearing the Poquitos and his Rusko longies. I did get some pee on my shirt, so the Poquitos don't completely hold a pee (esp when babywearing since Elie was pressed against my tummy). The longies aren't lanolized -maybe I'll get up the energy to do that someday :)
