EC Mom's- resource referral request

I have decided to give EC a try with my newest addition, that is only 6 days old.  I started yesterday just holding her over a little bowl after she wakes.  I had 3 catches yesterday and one already this morning.  Very exciting stuff.  Anyways... I am looking for free resources on EC and more about looking for the signs that baby will use to communicate that she has to go.  Anyone have any websites or other resources to share?

Re: EC Mom's- resource referral request

  • I cant think of any great websites at the top of my head, they all want a paid membership, or to buy their book etc.

    Forums are good places to start,

    It may be helpful to just scroll through the old posts and read them, or ask questions of your own.  I also picked up some books from the library in the beginning.  


    Infant Potty Training - Laurie Boucke
    Diaper-Free Baby - Chrstine Gross-loh
    Diaper Free - The Gentle Wisdom of Natural Infant Hygiene - Ingrid Bauer

    I liked all of these books.

  • I read the Diaper Free Baby.  It isn't really all that profound.  You can get the same info from various sites I would think.  I agree with the PP to look at posts on here and ask questions.  To me, it basically seems like you try to catch their pee and poop.  Look for a signal that they give.  I found that when DD was little like yours it was super easy to catch pees.  But, then as she got older it was harder because I couldn't and still can't recognize her signal.  She makes a loud grunt now when she has to poop and makes the grunt on the potty.

  • Yeah diaperfree baby was pretty obvious stuff, but I found the first title I posted  to be a really awesome, indepth book that looks at different cultures and the way they practice EC too.  I got them all from the library though, so they were free.
