Thoughts on Brie & her ECing @ almost 6mos old

Brie on the potty @ 5mos

The above 2 pics are Brie on her potty @4mos.

Her stools are loosing their bm poo look & now becoming more solid since we've started solids a bit more regularly. The girl likes our ECing (elimination communication) & really chooses to poo on her little bunny potty. She may start to have a poo in her diaper but if I catch it she really will let it finish it on the potty. In the past 3mos I can count on 1 hand how many poo diapers I had to clean up! YAY!

Pee usually we have a wet diaper but if I put her on her potty she will use it for pee too.

It's amazing if you pay attention & act on it what you find your babies communicating with you! For those who find it hard to understand. Don't you watch your little ones for when they are tired? hungry? wanna play? They also have signals to let you know they have to eliminate too. Those signals change as they get older & mature. No they can't do it on their own for quite a while but they can't feed themselves in the beginning either. It's just about watching your child & choosing to act on those signals & if we have a miss communication, no big deal. I just think of ECing as saving one diaper at a time & my daughter not having pee or poo next to her sensitive bum for a long period of time.
