I'm Andrea and I spend most of my time with my 6 children (all under 12 yo) and the rest of my time teaching other new parents how to do Elimination Communication with their 0-18 month babies. I love what I do and try to make a difference in one baby or parent's life every single day. (And I love, love, love, mango gelato.)

    Hello ! What about a 15mo who, naked or with training pants, started to go by herself on the potty (finally doing something in it !) during 3-4 days and then stopped ? (Still signing and willing to sit if she’s doing it though). We had a we away with diapers but it’s been more than a week now ! Thanks

      She may be going through some developmental milestones, and may need a little redirection. Many parents include natural consequences into their EC practice by having baby help clean up any messes they make.

    To follow my previous comment about my 15 mo – new from tonight : I saw her look for privacy for the first time ; I brought the potty to her and told her she could poo and i would be back after. She closed the door when I left and re opened it maybe 3 min after. She showed me her poo … on the floor !! Mmmmm any comments on that ? She also sits to do nothing and the potty and since 2 or 3 days puts toys in it and then sits on it ;)
