Elimination Communication (EC) also know as Infant Potty training, If anyone has any information or tips on this I would be hugely grateful!
I've only recently heard of "EC" and I find the idea hugely intriguing I have to admit!
Basically it's a idea of potty training which in many cases starts from birth. The idea is during the day when you and your baby are at home the baby is nappy free and when he/she need to do their business you pop them onto a potty or hoover above the toilet and let them do what they need to do, and when they are doing a pee or poo you make little noises i.e. When they make a pee you make a hissing noise or just say peepee... And in time they pick up the noise and associate it with what they need to do and where to go. Also you start to pick up on little things they may do before they need to go to the loo, they may start pulling on there willy if needing a wee (Obviously little girls won't do this...)

You can do it all the time if you may choose to only do it for a few hours every day or when you fancy it's meant to be a very lax way of introducing a potty to them.
This is something I think me and the Bambino are going to give a shot, once I've found a potty small enough for small bums!
In other news the elimination of the dummy is going well we have pretty much got it out of our daily lives other than for napping or when he goes to bed! Fingers crossed it will be in the bin beofre long.
