We did / are doing it part-time with Oliver and it’s been awesome. I haven’t changed the nasty diapers in forever!!! We’re still working on him telling us all of the time, but I’ll tell you, he loves it and will wait for the potty so that he doesn’t get all dirty. Thank you Diaper Free Baby!

We’ve practiced EC in conjunction with using cloth diapers with all 3 of our children with great success! My second child has cerebral palsy due to birth injuries and has pottied since birth. All infants communicate from birth when they need to eliminate. The primary reason we do practice this is because we feel it’s respectful to the child. Learn more at http://diaperfreebaby.org/

We’ll be doing this with our son. He’ll be in cloth diapers except when actually using the potty. No animal instinctually soils itself, not even humans – and by using diapers we’re smothering that instinct for the first few years of life. They’ve been using EC in China (without calling it that) for centuries – even now it is more common than not – so there must be some logic behind it.

I’ve heard of EC, but I don’t think I would do it. Like Mayim says, it seems to be potty training the parent rather than the baby. It makes more sense to me to wait until my child is ready to understand and act on her own body’s signals. To each her own!
