anyone aware of this ?
i just joined a yahoo group which encourages EC
it tells u how to learn to respond to the babies needs to eliminate (pee or poop)
anyone can start it with babies as early as 2 weeks old.
mine is 4month old boy and we started doing this since 2 weeks
when he cries i give him a potty-tunity(opportunity to pee/poop) by removing his diaper and standing in front of washbasin or toilet.

for now we are successfully able to potty him early in the morning as soon as he wakes up. he actually cries, wiggles and wakes me up if i dont remove his diaper and sit him.

i still use diapers on him but try to learn his cues.

any thoughts and does anyone do this ?

I hadn't heard of this before. If it is working for you I think it is great. My DS didn't want to potty train but DD basically trained herself. Maybe if I had the info or idea to do something like this it would have been easier.

I think that is such a cool idea, and definitely want to try that when I have kids. :)
