Become Part Time Nappy Free While You Practice The Ancient Art of Elimination Communication (EC) or Infant Potty Training...

Welcome to Part Time Nappy Free!

On this website, you'll learn lots of tips about practicing part-time elimination communication with your baby. Yes, EC is a practice focussing on the *communication* with your baby, not 'toilet training your baby'. In your mind, discard the idea that Baby Pottying is about your baby having to hold on until they use the potty, or going there themselves, or anything to do with rewards. Rubbish!

Instead, think of it as an ancient dance of communication - a wonderful form of teamwork between you and your baby. You strive to help your baby to understand their body and to help them to stay clean and dry as best you can.

You will use less nappies in time as you discover how to easily fit some 'potty breaks' into your day!

To help you begin, I have a variety of resources built from my own experiences practicing EC with my two babies from birth.

Part Time Nappy Free means... flexibility. Helping your baby to toilet or use a baby potty is great fun.

Elimination Communication is often described as an early start to potty training or 'toilet training your baby' but it is really a gradual and natural alternative way of caring for your baby's hygiene needs, and guess what?

It isn't as difficult as the media makes out ... I can show you how to do it part time, how to use nappies casually... or rather, build your confidence so that is what naturally happens.

Part Time Nappy Free means... using nappies with your baby - but not ALL of the time, not 24/7 for year after year.  YES. - you'll still use nappies - they catch accidents between potty visits - BUT you'll be using nappies as a tool, not as an essential item.

All you need to do is sign up once, here in this one convenient location, and you'll be provided with the tips, ideas and strategies you need to get started in a positive way on your journey to part-time nappy freedom.

Then one day you'll realise you don't need nappies anymore - no more nappy changing - simply more time for play with your child.

How and when to start varies with each family. It means different things when your baby is a tiny newborn to when they are crawling, to when they are toddlers. 

Practicing EC, or being "Part Time Nappy Free" means different things from one day to the next, one month to the next... requiring flexibility. You can be flexible, can't you? 

If you can be flexible, you can practice EC - the ancient art of Elimination Communication, often described as Natural Infant Hygiene or Infant Potty Training. All sorts of Mums are enjoying it with their babies:

Wait a second ... If you've never heard of "Elimination Communication" (EC) or "Infant Potty Training", click here to learn what EC is, or simply read on...

I started EC when my baby was a newborn. It was a wonderfully empowering way to enhance our understanding of his needs and our bond blossomed - both mine and his Dad, too. We had this extra 'trick' to see what he needed if he cried or was uncomfortable - did he simply need a wee? The answer on many occasions was simply yes - he'd do a wee or poo and would SMILE at us in relief - then fall asleep. 

Can I tell you how great it felt to meet his needs like that? It was AWESOME. Actually it was mind-blowing - we felt GREAT helping him do something as simple as a wee.

Did he wear nappies? For sure he did - full time - yet we took him for 'wee breaks' regularly and at usual transitions in our activities - and he would go to the toilet every time. Yes, his nappy was still wet a lot, and we would change him quickly - yet soon we were using less nappies overall as all the little 'pit stops' meant less nappies overall... and then we started having nappy free time at home more and more often - without messes. (Misses need not become messes.)

I am now practicing EC with my second newborn - he is three weeks old and already plenty of his poos are going down the sewer system, not into the rubbish bin. He quite clearly agitates for a potty stop - though we aren't using a potty as such yet - a baby potty and potty bowls instead.

Would YOU like to use a few less nappies a week as you discover how to communicate with your baby in a different way? It is the way to begin - slowly and gradually.

How do you start EC, or help your baby to use a potty? 

There are many ways to start. many ways to be partly nappy free. Parents practice Elimination Communication (EC) in all sorts of ways. They are universally part time nappy free before becoming truly 'nappy free'. They are enjoying the benefits of an enhanced connection with their babies while slashing their reliance on nappies. They are avoiding nappy rash treatments and toilet training problems. They do it as they find it is far preferable to the sometimes passive drudgery and of full time nappy use - why change every nappy, clean up after EVERY SINGLE ELIMINATION your baby does for over 900 days (assuming you begin 'potty' or 'toilet training' when your toddler is two and a half.) 

That'll add up to over well over 5000 nappy changes. 

(Yes FIVE THOUSAND, and some suggest 6000, even 8000 is more accurate these days with children being in nappies longer than ever before.) Then, there may well be night time nappies for longer again...

I can help you to begin reducing that number - down, down, down. Every time you realise you've 'saved' another nappy, you will smile... as you become part time nappy free.

Parents practicing Elimination Communication KNOW how to adapt it to their busy modern lifestyles. They work at an office, they run businesses, they stay home to care for their children, (Yes, they have other children), they have cream carpets, they rent, they own, they live in the city and the country and the suburbs - they are just like YOU.  BUT but they have something else - they know the secrets to developing their Nappy Free confidence so that practicing EC is easier, far more enjoyable than full time nappies - in fact they would never use nappies full time EVER AGAIN.

I can help YOU to Develop YOUR Nappy Free Confidence, too.

As I mentioned above, some describe elimination communication as a way to start toilet training early, but it really is nothing like the 'toilet training' or 'potty training' that toddlers experience who have been in nappies full time since birth. EC is a gradual process that is instinctive, based on the natural cooperation between parent and child.

It is a gentle and interactive activity for parents and child to do together, and the baby leads the way, always. And yes, it lets baby complete their toilet learning at an earlier age, basically as soon as they are able to, at their own unique pace. 

So, yes, your nappy bill will be somewhat smaller (Hmmm, well, we only BOUGHT nappies for the first three months of our baby's life, and I still have four nappies waiting for our next baby to use from that last bag.) I'm a regular Mum, I was a high school art teacher, now a SAHM, and my husband is a regular Dad - he works for the government in Information Technology - yet our baby was out of nappies early, just as babies were before disposable nappies became the norm in the 1970's. You can reduce the overall number of nappies you use as well.

Remember to keep in mind: 

EC is about the communication, not about toilet training. The NOW of caring for baby without needing a nappy some of the time, building your confidence and understanding about their individual needs. So this means yes they may be finished with aspects of toilet learning earlier than their peers, or they may take the same amount of time, or be finished quite early for poops (like our son) but take longer for wees. You know, how babies are all unique - it is no different with practicing EC...

Meanwhile, you keep them as dry and clean by using less nappies at times, saving on costs, or washing or both, and have another way to connect daily with your little one. At the times you need to focus on other family needs, you have the nappy to fall back on, just as if you weren't practicing EC. You won't be using nappies 100% of the time any more - that's got many bonuses.

Some parents do EC through an early stage of baby care, like the in-arms stage before baby becomes mobile, then rely more fully on nappies once they are on the move. Though, often parents find it is impossible to totally turn off their EC "baby radar" once it has been enabled, and continue to offer toilet breaks at least daily.

Being Part Time Nappy Free by practicing EC is a flexible option; 

You can adapt it to suit your family and lifestyle while enjoying the benefits of practicing elimination communication as an integral part of your baby's hygiene care.
