I'm always a tad too late! Luckily they fall right off the diaper into the toilet, so there's minimal cleanup involved. I think it's harder for poop because you can't release it voluntarily on cue like you can with pee.Rixahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908864785513937876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-88741892463731526262008-03-25T13:23:00.000-04:002008-03-25T13:23:00.000-04:00Okay, maybe you have some pointers for me?

We use cloth as backup and although M (10 mo) has several wet diapers throughout the day, she also uses the potty beautifully for peeing, like 90% of the time. But for the past few months since we had to switch from holding her over the toilet (and now that she has more solid poop) to sitting on the potty, she pooped there maybe 3 or 4 times? I'm pretty sure she waits patiently 'till I leave her alone with that darn potty and finds a moment of 'privacy' (when I'm least suspecting!) and that's when she poops. I've taken to eavesdropping for grunting or going over for a stealth buttsniff whenever she plays contentedly alone :) but it's always a miss... I can't figure her out!! What gives?Judithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01310462426087335112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-6749478718478181112008-03-24T00:03:00.000-04:002008-03-24T00:03:00.000-04:00I thought it worked well for baby #4 here, too, fo...I thought it worked well for baby #4 here, too, for the same reasons. My little one often held it for a long time when out and about. I cloth diapered all of them and the little one was the only one where I did any deliberate kind of EC (although, looking back I was using parts of it with all of them.) We went to Disney world when she was 16 mos and we took a pack of disposables with since we wouldn't have laundry facilities. I think we used about 15 diapers the whole week as she happily peed in every new potty. This might depend on personality, though - my boys were both more pee every 20 minute types who tended to get very engaged in things they were doing and didn't seem to mind as much being wet as my girls. I think it might have been harder with them. Really, since EC is about learning your child's cues and preferences, not so much about catching every elimination, you can be as involved as you have time for.doctorjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570496336872952499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-42449280166910703672008-03-23T13:49:00.000-04:002008-03-23T13:49:00.000-04:00I think EC works fine out & about.

Actually, probably better for us, because Zari tends to hold her pee a lot longer when we're out doing fun things, so when I bring her to a restroom she goes very willingly and very quickly. I use cloth diapers as backup and that makes all the difference in my mind--no worries about needing to haul along a gazillion changes of clothes if you miss something.Rixahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908864785513937876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-55188668125320753382008-03-23T11:41:00.000-04:002008-03-23T11:41:00.000-04:00Thanks for tellingus all about dear little Zari!

I think the EC sounds so neat, do you think you would be able or interested in doing that if you had a bunch of older kids and soent your days out and about the town or is it more of a Baby-and-Mommy are home most days kind of a thing? <BR/>It is so cute to think of her signing nurse-nurse-nurse, and I dont think nursing 2 to 4 times a night is too bad at all for co-sleeping! If my new baby is a cuddly-snuggly type (and not a crawl out the door lick the electrical sockets, dissasemble the bed, poke mommys eyes out, jump on daddys throat type) of baby, then we look forward to long time bed sharing! :)Housefairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158143680987249710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-53797764657821484052008-03-21T00:46:00.000-04:002008-03-21T00:46:00.000-04:00We had lots of luck with the boredom issue once Le...We had lots of luck with the boredom issue once Leif fell in love with books (around a year). Now he will happily sit on the potty for 20 minutes (!!) reading and talking to himself. <BR/><BR/>If there is something she loves to do, maybe she'll be enticed to sit?starparticlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302445299886004866noreply@blogger.com
