Getting Started

Okay, so you're starting to think maybe EC isn't the craziest thing you've ever heard. You're even willing to give it a shot and put your baby on the potty; but when? It is easiest to learn when to potty your baby after you have spent some time observing. Put down some water proof pads, take off their diaper, and observe. Not only is it good to let your baby's bottom have some fresh air, it also is a good time to take naked bottom pictures :) When your baby does eliminate you will see what signals your baby shows during the process. When we first started my son, Henry, would get a very serious looking face and stare right through me. Once the baby is on the potty you will encourage them to go. We would just sit with Henry and sing songs, make animal noises, etc. If your baby starts to pee, make the "sssssss" noise. If your baby starts to poop, make a light grunting noise. Once pottying becomes more routine, you can simply make the "ssss" noise, or lightly grunt and this will encourage your baby to relieve themselves.



What questions do you have about EC?
