while pregnant i lurked on this board occasionaly and played with the idea of ECing my baby, but i didnt expect her to demand it-
Lucca was born on may 21st and right from the start did not like being wet or dirty. i am using cloth and around the house no covers. it always goes like this- she starts skirming and fussing and ill notice a little bit of wet, ao i take her to the changing table, open her diaper and she lets out some more fuss and then a big cry and pees... then i started to try to help her, by patting her with a dry corner of the diaper, which now makes her pee. sometimes (maybe 1/2 the time?) ill catch a poop this way too!. at night i know she needs to go because she'll root but not latch on. i open her diaper and it is usually already wet but then she pees alot, and usually poops! now shes at about 8 out of 10 diaper changes that she'll pee when i pat her, and she dosnt scream anymore just makes this "maw" sound...so i know its not over a potty, but is this EC?
its so funny to me because i CDed my son, but he couldnt care less if he was wet , ever! and i never noticed any signals from him either! weird..

This kind of behavior is why we started EC. Talk to her about what she's doing and then it's EC. You might want a bowl or potty to aim her at. They start getting some real distance. Just letting our daughter go on a diaper sometimes got us and the walls messy.

update_
ive been making the SSSSSS sound when she goes and talking to her baout it, and three days ago i started using a bowl and she is doing GREAT!! i am amazed at how many times a day she pees in that bowl :LOL .. she is great about going when i make the sound, and im pretty good at interprating her signals, which vary depending on if shes in the sling or my arms or not with me (daddy or bassinet) . .. i am loving this!
