I have two children, one EC'd from 2 months old and the other until 12 months when I had to have surgery and treatment for cancer and was unable to continue. My oldest was out of diapers by 20 months old. My youngest is now 2 and still in diapers and it is a challenge to get him to use the toilet. So having done both, I must say...EC all the way, baby!
This is so cool... we just tried this by chance today. My 9 mo old daughter was without a diaper because it was so hot out and she tooted and I put her on the potty and she peed and poop! So exciting!
EC works amazingly if you're dedicated to being present with your child. We are having remarkable results using the EC guides at ECSimplified. There is a full ebook with Audio companion and we are having success already, but we we're also committed to practicing Elimination Communication. The writing, pictures, and diagrams along with some bonus items. It's the most accessible resource we have found and it's endorsed by DiaperFreeBaby. sincerely, Proud Poppa

attatchment parenting is terrible. i babysit for a little boy whos mother is into it and he is the most spoiled rotten child, and i've heard that most attatchment parented children are the same. Please don't damage your kids. think about the other people in their lives that have to deal with it.
@caritopastrana because i called him spoiled rotten? I bet you'd agree if you were to watch him. what does thinking that one child is difficult because of how he was raised, have to do with my ability to look after children, my dear? I've looked after autistic children, children with downsydrome, and epileptic children, but the only one i've had any problem at all with was him.
wow !!!! my son is almost three and has only just mastered using the toilet and loves it but i so wish i had known about this when he was born great info in this vid it makes perfect sense
how in the world do you not get poo all over the place after they go? how do you wipe them? especially a wiggly child? my son is 6 months old and i don't know that he would sit still as soon as he eliminated, leading to poo everywhere. i don't know though, someone please inform...

@kcvinton I'm not an expert.. actually I'm a first time mommy and i just started doing this about a week ago with my 4 month old baby girl and is working amazingly...the trick is to pay attention to your baby and to hold him/her while she/he is on the potty :) also is good to make a quit environment and congratulate at the very end (some times i get so excited because we did it that she stops and then finish on her diaper ^^ and most importantly make it fun and dont make a big deal of accidents
Soul's comment is ridiculous. Puppies also get teeth very quickly, wean much faster and only live to be about 13 years old depending on the breed. Let's not compare our children to dogs!
@EmJ22287 i think the point is more towards the fact that humans are mammals, like dogs... naturaly, animals dont want to mess their space... i dont do this with my daughter but it makes complete sense... as does the comment about the puppy....
so happy to see this vid! my 4 month old boy and i have been doing EC together since birth (we caught the first tarry meconium poo in the potty!!). one mama friend of mine commented "so that's why my baby cried the third of the time i couldn't figure out what she needed! i'm definitely doing this with the next one." it does work...if you try it out ... you will see. :) it seriously is amazing. what a way to bond with baby!!

Thanks for posting this video! When I was looking into potty training for my son when he was getting close to one I realized I started late! We potty trained him in a couple months and he was done by about 18 months. I have another little boy now, about 7 weeks and I think this sounds like a great thing to do for your baby :) This is a great intro to EC.

are you effing serious? babies do not know when they need to poop. If that was the case i could tell the signs when my parapalegic and senior clients needed to poo and i would have esp. Imagine the money they would save on depends. Babies bowels are not developed for this. Take a developmental psych class or a basic human biology class. this is nonsense
I dont need to take a class, this is my day to day life with a clean bummed baby (I cant remember the last pooey accident) Sorry if you take offence to the truth - it is an enlightening subject and I am so glad I tried it . It is a shame people can be so close minded as not to accept the possibilites; you are one of many :-(
PS There are major issues with Brazelton's 'readiness' theory. Just bcause there is a commonly held view in society doesnt make it true.
@byyounghusband. When I say 'issues' I'm referring to his scientific approach of comparing only coercive potty training methods with his 'readiness' theory and by the conflict of interest of him going to work for Pampers six weeks after his 'science' was reported....oh, and Brazelton has also now admitted that 'EC' is possible - he talks it down and makes it sound harder to manage than it is, but atleast he admits it is possible.
just stumbled onto the whole EC concept. this video was a great introduction to the psychology behind it; and how it works for this particular woman's family. really glad i found this.
EC is just a gentle way of meeting your baby's need to "go" -- not so different from facilitating her needs to eat, bathe or be clothed. Yes, it does require a little more of your time and attention, especially at first, but once you get going, it's surprisingly easy. And rewarding! To those who dismiss it outright, I ask: Why should I treat my baby as any less capable than a puppy, who understands where to "go" in a matter of weeks??
EC Rocks! i use it with my 6 week old girl, we have SO much fun with it. Those who diss it, don't understand the research (or really, they haven't read it, and don't even know it exists) and are going off 1970's80"s early potty training pscho info which is a TOTALLY different thing.
I understand why people would choose not to EC but i think your comment is nonsense. I believe that between 50% and 66% of the world's babies are currently raised without nappies. Nappies are a simply a 'western convenience'. We EC our 5 month old and it is surprisingly easy, it has just become another of the many things we help our child with. I would hate to poo in my pants so why expect my baby to do so?
@byounghusband I'm not sure of the origins of the data or the exact figure I read but if you add the populations of china, india and other parts of asia, south america, africa where this is normal practice I'm estimating you are looking at over half of the world's population...so not genourous at all
Oh, and for the record - I dont' think saying half, to 2 thirds is particularly precise...??
I'm disappointed in this lady's comment that EC is not for 99% of people...it is not encourging and ANYONE CAN do this in the time they have with their baby, 1 'catch' a day is better than none and keeping baby aware of their bodily functions will help for when you do decide to potty/toilet train...
I love EC! We follow EC whenever we are home and sometimes when visiting relatives. My daughter (10 months) prefers this to going in her diaper. Of course, who wouldn't?
Let me guess, this woman is a stay at home mother, right? There is no way that a working mother could instill this process when she is working at the office all day long. Not a realistic process unless you live in a 3rd world country and raise children all day long.
You have a point, but EC doesn't need to be practiced full time to be effective. Even part time and occasional EC will help a baby understand that it doesn't have to mess itself, and to prevent much of the trauma of toddler toilet training (since the child doesn't have to "unlearn" that it's standard practice to mess itself).
Yes, she runs her own home-based business. Naturally you need to be a stay at home mom AND have a home-based business to practice EC on an ongoing basis. Many women do not have the option of working at home so EC is NOT convenient for them. Oh by the way, did you find any ghosts lately?
In what reality is running home-based business not a job? It still takes a great deal of time and dedication, and is NOT analogous to simply being a stay-at-home-mom. Besides, I know a lot of women who practice EC who work outside the home. Have you actually bothered to TALK to people who practice it?
Running a business IS a job but when it's in the home it makes EC training all the more easier to accomplish because you can grab your child and run to the toilet. You cant do that when you are at the office all day and your child is in daycare. In my book, EC takes a lot of work and is not suitable for ALL lifestyles especially North American's who are working 9 to 5 in the corporate world. I have done my research. Now you do yours.
Maggie runs her business partly from home, but as she also trains other people and teaches clients she is also out of the house. I know this because I have been on one of her two day courses. I don't know how she works around this (EC part-time, or the other adults involved in child care also use the technique), but she says plainly that EC isn't for most people (did you actually watch the video?), she was just sharing a technique which might appeal to some people.
Just wanted to add the perspective of a working mother in the U.S.; my son is in daycare and we EC when we're at home. It works just fine. He knows that at daycare he can go in his diaper, and at home that his dad or I will periodically take him to the bathroom.
