FWIW, I had a great, very "successful" EC relationship with my dd2 (now 4yo) and she graduated at 21 months. We started ds at 4 days and he's now 4 mo. He does not signal at all. Not even for poo. Up until now, I've relied 100% on timing and (sometimes) intuition. He smiles all the time. He's so happy. Isn't that great? Except when it comes to EC - a little complaining would help me a lot! As a result, we're not catching nearly as many pees as we did with dd2. At three months, it was common to have completely dry days with her. She was diaper free in undies at six months. I don't know what to do about my ds. Should I keep at it? Does anyone have any experience with a totally laid back lo?
And, to make matters more complicated, now he's on a potty strike. Will. not. pee. in. the. potty! He wants nothing to do with any sort of sink/toilet/BBLP at all. It's harder to have him nakey because he's rolling over a bunch and I can't see the physical changes that often signal his need to pee. Should I keep offering at the usual times? How can we get through this strike and continue EC?
TIA!

to think of that term applied to her! But she wasn't a super strong signaller at that age, either, and we just went by timing. Like you say, offer at the usual times. A lot of the time, those were our only catches for quite a long stretch of time. If he's refusing the potty right now, you may need to offer even less right now. Sounds like your EC journey is going to look different than it did with your other LO, but it's definitely worth it to keep at it if you are able to!
