ec

Anyone considering doing ec? And does anyone know a good link I could go to? Would love to do away with diapers all together.

I'm planning to try harder with EC this time around. I tried off and on with dd, but never consistently.

Would definitely like to try this. There's a whole EC forum under the diapering forum here at MDC. Should be lots of good info there.

We will EC part-time with this baby...we've done it PT with DD for about a year now. Just occasional, whenever we both get around to it stuff. But she's 18 months and hasn't pooped in a diaper since about 11-12 months and although she still pees in dipes a lot, she's getting better at telling us! Even just being spared poopy dipes to wash is worth it! LOL

We started ECing at 7 months (when he could sit on the potty) and I will probably start sooner with this one. I have heard people like the book Diaper Free or something like that. I read early start potty training http://www.amazon.com/Early-Start-Potty-Training-Linda-Sonna/dp/007145800X which was a fast easy read, but more applies to those starting at a few months old.

I am considering it. I had heard a bit about it with my first born and when he would make a funny expression and then go pee I would think "Geesh I should really be doing EC" (since I could recognize his signs before peeing).

My cousin EC'ed her first born from the beginning and he was going on his own at a year just when she had her second child. She figured she had to continue to EC or her first may lose what they had worked at. I will see her in October and find out how its all panned out ... Maybe get inspired!

I will be ECing this one from birth. I started with my DD at 3.5 months and we loved it. Besides the obvious advantage of less diaper laundry ;) , it was really cool being so aware of her needs and able to help her. It was a little hard at first, she was very much diaper trained even at 3.5 months, so I'm really looking forward to starting right from the beginning with this baby. :)
