I've been ec'ing my baby since he was 6 months old. Until recently, he seemed on the verge of not needing diapers anymore -- we've had days when he would stay dry overnight as well as through most of the next day, for days on end. He is 12 months now.
Recently, however, he has stopped signaling altogether, and except for his regular morning pee/poop into a potty (when I sit him on the toilet right after he wakes), has gone back to wetting multiple diapers the rest of the day.
Could it be because we've been traveling (we've been on three flights and slept in four different places in the last week and half)? Could he be acclimating too much to wearing diapers? I would love to hear suggestions and advice on how I can get him to signal again (he used to do everything from whining to tapping his diaper with his hand to doing these hilarious little pelvic thrusts). These days, he occasionally whines/fusses, but only AFTER he has already peed in his diaper. More often, he does nothing, seems really happy and then to my dismay, I discover a hugely wet diaper.
More facts: He has been in disposable diapers since birth, and now pull-up trainers. That didn't seem to interfere with his EC abilities in the past... but could disposables be a culprit? Also, I've been making the sign-language "shaking fist" signal to him and making pee/poop noises with him since 6 months, and continue to this day.
This is my first time on this forum. Thank you in advance for your help and guidance!
