Do I need to say more about:
1) who read about this and wants to try it
2) who is not a fan of hanging out over the toilet seat
3) what my opinion is?

God Kip...you are CRAZY! But if it works...you'll be amazing. And Lis' favorite person (since I'm betting she changes more dipes than you). At least get her a cute little Elmo toilet so she doesn't decide to one day "do it her big girl self" and fall in and drown. Only takes a teaspoon of water for kids to croak (that's what they say anyway, but I don't really believe it).
Guess who's supposed to train her though? ME! I'm supposed to learn the cues she makes when she's going, rush to the bathroom, hold her over and make a noise (for example a pee noise) so she learns to associate that with the bathroom and then will make it herself, thus eliminating diapers by 18mos.
Elimination communication (EC) is a process by which a caregiver uses timing, signals, cues, and intuition to address an infant's excretive needs, partially or completely avoiding the use of diapers. Diapers can be used but usually tend to become extraneous and unnecessary after a point. The emphasis of EC is placed on communication. When one practices EC, they are in essence trying to communicate as much as possible with their child about the elimination process, helping the child to become aware of their own body. The term "elimination communication" was inspired by traditional practices of diaper-less baby care in less industrialized countries and hunter-gatherer cultures.[1] EC can begin at birth and is usually started before six months of age, although it can be practiced at any age. If started in the later months or after age one, babies are more likely to be "diaper trained," and may be less aware of and/or able to communicate their elimination needs. The term "late starter" refers to a baby who starts EC after six months or after age one.
you guys are strange, just let her figure it out herself. We are know she is far from smart
maybe you could spend all the "EC" time reading or cuddling, that ought to do a lot for her too. After two kids I finally learned (late of course) don't sweat the small stuff, and diapers are small stuff-which is why I am never bothered changing them!
He is only doing this so she does not poop in his shoes - like he did to his parents . . . and really, how many kindergarteners go to school in diapers???
LOL funniest idea EVER! Trains the parents to run the child to the potty then make poop/peepee noises! Please promise me you will install a video cam in your bathroom if you decide to try this!!! BC that would be the best home movie ever!
Do you guys really believe this crap? Throw out the books! And throw out Kip while you're at it.
Me of all people- actually knows a couple (my old Boss) who swears by this. He has 2 kids, a boy and a girl.. and it was a success for them. It would be something if it worked!
Ok - I'll admit it - I'm a little scared. If it works - then I'll still be scared - but jealous.
Yeah, but who wants to have to run their kid to the bathroom everytime they give a "signal". That's dedication. Leave it to Kip to find something like this, and then make poor Lis in charge of actually doing it. And I agree with L-dine, we want video footage of this tom-foolery!
wow- I don't believe any of this- all you are doing is training yourself!!! But if it works, i'll be glad to admit I'm wrong:)
you first time parents kill me - by the time you have the second one, it'll be ---- whatever - through the kid a piece of bologna and put lies in the baby book!
