ha i was just trying EC for giggles after he woke up right as i finished reading an article about it. and he pooped in the potty! he did also happen to poop in the diaper i put on him after that, but for a first try i was pretty impressed with the little guy! shannon thought i was really wierd making her baby go potty, but i showed her how to do it anyways. hehe

others might have better links than that, but basically u watch your baby for cues about when they need to pee or poo and then u hold them over the toilet (in a specific supported way). i sort of think of it like when u get a new puppy u watch it constantly and when u see it sniffing around u put it outside to potty, or when it wakes up, or after a good hard play etc. so there are similar situations and cues you can see the baby do. i havent done it much w payne since he is not mine but i will def be trying it with my future babies.

We do it! London even has his own little potty chair! He poops 90% in the toilet and pees after any naps/sleep and almost everytime I put him on the toilet (we are lazy ECers we have a diaper on him all day but still take him when we see cues).

Here is london at 5 weeks doing it! YouTube - Elimination Communication (EC) Video Now he is getting to big for me to hold in that position so he uses the- Amazon.com: BABYBJÖRN Little Potty in Blue: Baby
Its great...we sometimes have full days of dry diapers! And we have tons of dry nights!
