Through you I have heard the the first time about EC and it has fascinated me very much and I hope that I will be able to practice it als well if I have children one day. Now I'm supposed to write an essay for my graduation. I have chosen to write about EC. Since we have to include an interview, I wanted to ask you, if you would be willing to answer me 10 questions about your experience with EC. I would need the answers at least until the end of February. Please let me know, what you think about it. Thanks a lot. In Christ love, Leonie (25 years) “A request for help”

Meghann,

My little girl gets really mad about being taken out of bed, too, and I am so much more tired if I have to actually get out of bed, so we’re not doing it at night right now either.

That encourages me a lot as you know I didn't start until Noble was 3 months...so to know with the next one I can start earlier makes me happy! I think you will really feel a special bond with her as the months go on. It has been wonderful with my boy. Though we are not doing it at night anymore as he still gets very angry when I take him out of bed to go. For now, just using a dipe at night time. love, meg I am so happy it is going well for you two.

I'll think about doing an update. And congratulations on saving three diapers! That's a great way to look at it. I tend to focus on the misses. I should focus on how many diapers I'm <i>saving</i> rather than how many I'm <i>using</i>. Manda,

The older kids don't think anything of it. Even the ones who didn't see me taking other babies to the bathroom seem to think it's perfectly normal to take a baby to the bathroom and haven't said anything about it's being strange or new. The toddler is very cute. She takes her dolls to the bathroom. :) Kim,

I hadn't even thought of doing it with my new baby, but your post inspired me to give it a try. :) Just starting today, I held her over the potty after she woke up a few times, and already we've saved three diapers! It makes so much sense - too bad most people think EC is totally crazy and weird! I'd love to read updates on your progress from time to time. How does it work in public, at church and such...do you find it awkward to take your baby to the bathroom with other people around? I dabbled in EC with both of my boys when they were older infants.

Absolutely amazing. You rock, girl. I think I would have been insane enough (also) to try this when I was your age. I'm interested to see if training this child in other ways is much easier than the others because of the increased communication/ trust. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. You rock, girl.

Helping your baby to get used to going in lots of different locations is really helpful - gives such flexibility and helps avoid or minimize potty pauses when they begin crawling, walking or teething! Good luck, I've linked from my blog so I can follow your journey. Charndra Hi,

I almost always catch #2, but have a hard time with #1 with my new to EC 10 month old. I find grunting, a slight red face, or unexplained crying tips me off to when he needs to go #2. I'm looking forward to starting from infancy with my next baby, due in October. Thanks for the info! It’s good to know the squating position actually helps them to go.
