This week's episode is for you.
I'm sharing a guest post from certified Go Diaper Free coach Louisa Rickman, who gives a simple, practical introduction to part-time Elimination Communication and why potty learning doesn't have to wait until toddlerhood.
If you're brand new to EC—or you've been curious but aren't sure where to start—this episode will show you how even part-time EC can make life easier, reduce messes, and help your baby build potty skills from the very beginning.

Start EC with your baby today with Andrea's popular book, Go Diaper Free: https://godiaperfree.com/thebook - One of the most common things parents say when their baby pees in the potty is: "Good job!" I used to say it too.
In fact, if you watch some of my old videos, you'll hear me praising my first baby all over the place. But after a lot of research, thought, and experience, I changed my mind.
Should we praise our babies when they use the potty? What about stickers? M&M's? Reward charts?
This is one of those topics I feel pretty strongly about, and in today's episode I'll share why I no longer praise during EC or potty training, what I do instead, and how our words can either support or undermine a child's natural motivation to use the potty.

Start EC with your baby today with Andrea's popular book, Go Diaper Free: https://godiaperfree.com/thebook - Clean-up, clean-up, everybody do your share...
Let's talk about the thing nobody wants to talk about when starting EC:
The pee on the floor. The surprise poop.
The giant mess you're imagining when you hear someone say "naked observation time."
Today's question comes from a first-time mom who is starting EC with her 10-month-old and wants to know:
How exactly do you clean up all this pee and poop while observing your baby?
The good news is that if you're doing observation correctly, you shouldn't be cleaning up nearly as much as you think.
In this episode, I'll share how to prevent most messes in the first place, how much observation time you actually need, and my favorite tricks for making clean-up quick and painless.

Over The Go Diaper Free Podcast
Andrea Olson of Go Diaper Free explains elimination communication - the concept of pottying your baby, as early as birth - which is what people have done for all of human history and in today's world where there are no diapers. She makes it easy to integrate EC into your modern lifestyle as a new parent, demystifies how to know your baby needs to go, how to take them to the toilet instead of primarily relying on the diaper, and makes EC approachable, accessible, and fun, for all parents...whether part-time, with or without diapers, and in any region of the world. Contrary to popular marketing messages, diapers are tools, not toilets, and babies are ALL born "ready" to use the toilet. Learn how to connect with your baby on this very natural level with Andrea's expert guidance, and experience the freedom of a life without dependence upon diapers, a life without traumatic toilet training, a life where your baby gets a head start on developing motor skills, communication, and learning by prioritizing this age-appropriate skill (0-18 months). EC honors your baby's dignity and makes parenting THAT much easier! Stop changing blowouts...and learn how to listen to your baby's requests for good hygiene. Learn more at godiaperfree.com. (PS - Andrea also occasionally covers potty training, for those of you who find us after 18 months.)
