It is an ancient way to care for a baby's hygiene needs as you slowly and gradually reduce your reliance on nappies. You enhance your understanding of and communication with your baby in ways that will just amaze you!
What is it like to do Elimination Communication?EC is something you start at home, when you have some quiet time with your baby. You support your baby's instinct to not wee on themselves by offering them the opportunity to wee in a potty now and then. At nappy changes is a prime time as their nappy is already off... You'll still be using those lovely nappies though!
EC means less washing of nappies in the long run!Modern Cloth Washable Nappies are so gorgeous, it almost seems a shame they will be washed until they fade!!
This is what being part-time nappy free means for the 'real' nappy addict: using elimination communication to work as a team with your baby to reduce the number of nappies that are wet or soiled (then washed!), even though baby may be in them all the time!
Imagine your nappy bucket taking twice as long to fill.When you are at home, you use nappies far more casually, as you are aware of some of your baby's attempts to communicate with you. You know enough about their patterns to offer them a timely wee-break at prime times - such as when they wake up. Then, you've learnt to offer a 'timing' opportunity, just like that... EC is like 'Cloth Minimalism': you can use nappies a little less often, keeping your baby's nappy dry for longer now and then, or a lot less often if you prefer, having your baby nappy free a lot while at home. Babies love the freedom of kicking their legs with no nappy on.
Nappies become a parenting tool while practicing EC - useful, but not essential all the time.While learning, and practicing a spot of EC with your baby, nappies become a parenting tool, something you use fully at times, only casually some of the time, not at all at other times, without fear about wee everywhere, as you slowly get to know your baby's rhythms.When practicing EC, nappies are no longer an essential you can't survive without - instead, you can simply use those nappies as knickers ... knickers with padding.
