OUR JOURNEY WITH ELIMINATION COMMUNICATION
The number one thing I wish I had known before the birth of my son is that you can start potty training babies right after they are born.
Ok, not really. It’s not potty training. It’s really more like a parent training in which you pay very, very close attention to your child so that you can put them over a sink or a bowl when they need to eliminate.
In case you have never heard about this before, in the Western World this “method” is known as Elimination Communication (EC), Diaper Free Baby, or Natural Infant Hygiene. Amongst most indigenous people around the world, EC doesn’t even have a name because it is the norm.

Well, there are many reasons.
