ECing with Henry

Since Henry arrived we have been trying to spot when he wants a wee or poo and hold him over the potty to catch it. Some call it Elimination communication (we have read The Diaper-free Baby )

Sometimes he is really clear. He will arch his back a lot, or shout around. It is also reliable to give him the chance to go to the toilet whenever he wakes up.

When we hold him in position we make various noises to encourage him to go and to associate going with the relevant word ... wee poo kiss bais.  Also blowing on his head or willy seems to make him wee.

He wont have any nappy rash.... that much is certain!

This afternoon he was laying down on a changing area while we were having lunch.  He kicked his blanket off and did a wee.  (some of) The wee went in his big toilet bowl that was next to him ... Good shot Henry!
