    I asked around and was referred here...

    http://diaperfreebaby.org/


    I've also been reading about it on diaper swappers and based on their suggestions I think I might try to use the cues at certain times during the day, like before she eats and at diaper changes.

    Please let me know what you learn because I'm interested to.

    I am trying it just now with my third after watching two friends who EC with their kids. One adopted a girl from China at 10m old and she came to the states with a bell that she goes potty too... I didn't believe EC till I saw that! Lily (the adopted girl) inspired my friend who successfully EC with poo her daughter. It is so odd seeing a 5m old use a toilet!

    I too cloth diaper and would love to not change or scrub poopy diapers. My youngest is just three weeks old and we have been making a sound when we know she is relieving herself.

    How long does it take before they begin to associate the sound with the action?
