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.

Poop miss

We had a poop miss today at Whole Foods. Elie went 4 hours without peeing and peed in the bathroom at Whole Foods (and was crying as we were walking to the bathroom b/c he needed to pee - he didn't want to nurse), but then when we got downstairs, he pooped in the diaper without any signal that I could perceive and didn't even cry about the poopy diaper :(

I went all day without writing any times/notes down to see how well I could recognize signals without help. We were miss free for most of the day. I think I had one pee miss and the poop miss plus I missed a pee overnight.
