My Baby Bjorn Potty

My parents and I are on an EC journey (Elimination Communication, also known as infant potty training...or, life with a baby in most of the rest of the world). My parents got me a little potty of my own so the didn't have to keep going upstairs to the sink when we're downstairs. Right now my parents take me at key times like when I wake up. So far it's been going pretty well. Certainly cuts down on diapers! I haven't used the potty much yet, but it has come in handy a couple of times.
Here's more about EC if your interested. Some people call it diaper free, but you certainly don't have to go all or nothing.

Diaper Free Baby This site has local groups you can join to make connections with other ECing families.
Natural Birth and Baby Care This site has an tremendously helpful interview between the website creator and the owner of EC Wear, Marija. She is awesome. I've been in contact with her because we bought some Eco Nix diapers from her (specially made for newborns and parents doing EC).
