Your sweet second baby has arrived (or is due to arrive soon!) But your firstborn is still working on pottying skills (in addition to all the other toddler skills!). When you have your second baby, you’re definitely doing double duty from then on out. It can be a big challenge - keeping up with elimination communication with your baby while you have a young toddler afoot. I know, I’ve been there, 4 times. But does EC have to go on the back burner while you wrangle your toddler (and possibly finish toilet training him or her)? I say, “no.” Take a listen to all my tips in this week’s podcast episode.

#79 Doing EC with an injury
Have you ever stubbed a toe, strained a wrist, or pulled your back? Maybe you have another physical limitation, and you’re thinking:“I guess EC is off the table for me.” In this week’s episode I share my own foot injury story and some ways I was able to adapt my EC practice to keep up our pottying rhythm.

#77 Potty power
Do you need a special potty to successfully do elimination communication? Nope. You can just hold them over the sink or toilet (I definitely have!) BUT it can make a huge difference if you can choose the right potty! That includes a better experience for both you AND your baby. In today’s episode, let me walk you through the options, and why and how they work.

Andrea Olson of Go Diaper Free explains elimination communication - the concept of pottying your baby, as early as birth - which is what people have done for all of human history and in today’s world where there are no diapers. She makes it easy to integrate EC into your modern lifestyle as a new parent, demystifies how to know your baby needs to go, how to take them to the toilet instead of primarily relying on the diaper, and makes EC approachable, accessible, and fun, for all parents...whether part-time, with or without diapers, and in any region of the world. Contrary to popular marketing messages, diapers are tools, not toilets, and babies are ALL born “ready” to use the toilet. Learn how to connect with your baby on this very natural level with Andrea’s expert guidance, and experience the freedom of a life without dependence upon diapers, a life without traumatic toilet training, a life where your baby gets a head start on developing motor skills, communication, and learning by prioritizing this age-appropriate skill (0-18 months). EC honors your baby’s dignity and makes parenting THAT much easier! Stop changing blowouts...and learn how to listen to your baby’s requests for good hygiene. Learn more at godiaperfree.com. (PS - Andrea also occasionally covers potty training, for those of you who find us after 18 months.)
