new mamma looking fro EC community

[brooke13]

Hi there, I live in santa fe Nm.

our son Ocean is 8 months old and we have been Ec'ing for the last 5 months. Looking for community here, others who are ahead of me and can give me more tips. I have taught a little class here and seem to be the point person for sharing and guiding other moms but I feel like we're just stumbling forward, would love to meet a few others practsing this.

thanks!

I wish there were people interested enough here for a small class to take place :) I have never met anyone in real life who does EC, and people online I have to actively seek out! I "potty trained" my son when he was about 17.5 months old and now that I do EC I realize I pretty much ECed him really looking at the approach I took. He will be two the end of February and he can go independently but can't work his pants yet... But he is diaper free successfully day and night with the rare miss during the day. Usually when we aren't paying attention to him (he is JUST starting to actually talk and still isn't very verbal). My newest will be 3 months on the 21st and we started doing EC with him at about 6 weeks or so and he is diaper free all day at home and we use cloth at night. I attempt to do EC then and usually have one wet diaper during the night at some point. We love it! I just wish I knew some people who did it because I would love to talk with others about it, but anyone I do talk to thinks I am a weirdo... Nice to "meet" you :)

Hi fellow ECer's... when I learned about this and started reading more while I was pregnant I was eager to find others doing it. I only had friends of friends stories for the most part and one friend doing it with an older baby. I asked my midwife and our wonderful family doctor if they new any families practicing EC and they both said no. They had heard of it but that was it.

So glad to have found MDC and the EC forum! Great for sharing, learning, and encouragement.
