This is fantastic! Thank you for your responses. My mother passed away a few years ago, so I appreciate any baby advice you can give. My mother-in-law is supportive, albeit begrudgingly, and sometimes when I explain how I plan to use EC methods with the baby, I have a feeling she thinks I am going to somehow house break my daughter, and let her out into the backyard to pee and poo like I would a beloved pet dog. She means well though, and it could be worse. She just gave me I guess what you call a baby wearer to try, which is really sweet since I expressed an interest. I don't know though. I fall a lot. Over air. I have also been known to fall out of bed during my adult life. I have to research the baby wearing thing a little more.
By the way, this may be TMI, but I am peeing every ten seconds. This cannot be normal. I had to get up and pee twice during the writing of this very response. My baby thinks my bladder is some sort of squeezy toy. I did not think it was possible to pee this much. I actually called my doctor about it recently, and he laughed and told me to relax. I imagine him rolling his eyes a lot whenever my name pops up in his appointment calendar.

- start a year ago. isn't it so odd how you become the local potty training expert? i just want to say, well, um, i did EC to *avoid* the situation you're describing, i have no idea how to handle that! but usually i just say my little EC mantra "just listen to what your child is trying to tell you. Keep the lines of communication open, and respect what s/he's telling you, even if it's not what you want to hear."
