EC Baby

Elimination Communication, also known as "Natural Infant Hygiene," is becoming more popular in first world countries.  It is, in short, a method of learning your infant's cues and communicating with him or her so that you are able to assist with his/her elimination needs when he/she needs to "go," rather than relying on disposable diapers.

I first found out about it while I was still pregnant, and researching the "greenness" of cloth diapers.  I stumbled across an article that insisted EC was the "greenest" option (which makes sense, as the intention is to be "diaper free") and from there I was intrigued.  Continuing my research, I borrowed a book from the library and bought another on Amazon, both of which were informative and inspiring.  I was hooked!

We have only been able to practice EC part-time so far, but I'm getting bolder, and braver, and will be stepping it up in the next few months.  Share our EC journey with us!
