Natural Timing: Part 2 of when does my baby need to pee – another of the four ways to know it’s time to go
When does your baby need to pee? Four ways exist. Today's episode covers #2: your baby's natural timing.
Every baby has an inherent pottying rhythm; a certain amount of time lapses between feeding and peeing, and between waking and peeing. And between each subsequent potty thereafter.
If you can get acquainted with your baby's natural timing, EC will be that much simpler for you.
Remember that, although it expands over time and circumstance, having this additional knowledge is KEY to success with pottying your baby. Absolutely key.
In this episode, I cover:
- How to create your own EC tracking log to chart your baby's natural timing
- The two best times to begin timing your baby's elimination patterns
- Why you shouldn't just randomly time your baby
- Where you can download logs to do the charting more easily
- Why you shouldn't over-do naked observation time
- How doing this 1/2 hour compares to doing it all day long
- When to test your baby's potty timing again
- Plus much more...

Good to hear to state you’d drive yourself crazy trying to catch every pee with a newborn! I was definitely going crazy and felt guilty and worried every time I didn’t catch a pee because I thought I wasn’t doing it right. This anxiety translating to my baby because the more misses I had, the more I began to hover at other times.
Definitely noticing some resisting too and its helpful to hear its likely cause her timing has changed. I will be bringing out the natural timing logs to figure out what the new timing is. Very helpful! Thanks again :)
Yes I am waaaay lower pressure with EC w/this babe than my first! It’s easy to start feeling guilty, worried, and incompetent when doing EC with a newborn. Mine also resists when it’s just not time, and I heed that for sure, yet other times it’s clear she just needs a moment. Good luck re-logging things…I’m sure it will help!
