If I had known how little I would have to touch poop I would have done EC long ago. My dd is 9 months and we use one diaper at night and maybe have to wash 1 or 2 extra undies a day just depending on the day. I have so little diaper laundry that I just throw it in with my regular wash. EC has been totally awesome for us and has kept dd's yeasty rash under control. Very well written article. I hope it encourages sceptics to give it a try.Travelin' Tots Rentalshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11385428710956876661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-89708844392764565572009-10-13T21:27:18.725-04:002009-10-13T21:27:18.725-04:00We do a little of this but we are not so great at it. And now that Big Sister is almost 14 months. I will be potty training her soon enough so we are keeping this on a slow and easy practice.Upstatemomof3http://www.blogger.com/profile/16862359333933751151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-81659666273561755932009-10-13T15:58:00.212-04:002009-10-13T15:58:00.212-04:00Excellent blog. We've been using the potty for a few months now (my daughter is 15 months old). She finally *gets* it and it's pretty exciting for her. At about 12 months she was bringing me a diaper when she needed to be changed, so I took that as a hint she might be interested in her potty chair. So far, so good....we are still in diapers of course, but at least she grasps the concept and it saves us a couple diapers every day.Delaneahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17747412470366338897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-82266824761834513482009-10-12T14:17:52.442-04:002009-10-12T14:17:52.442-04:00The title really caught my attention. I hate changing diapers. I doesn't matter what type-its all still gross. I can't wait for when its time to potty train. I hadn't considered trying a little at a time. I have a neighbor who has already started. She's only a part-time cloth diaperer but her 8 month old is already telling her when he needs to go. It is something to consider.Arizona Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07523471805098513333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-26638087780992272962009-10-12T12:56:44.195-04:002009-10-12T12:56:44.195-04:00once my daughter could walk (at 9 months) we started doing this every few days or so. She is now two (as of the 9th) and practically potty trained (naps and overnight are still in need of diapers for my peace of mind, and she has the occasional poopy accident on the floor) If I had been more faithful to it, I think she would have been trained maybe 3 months sooner. I use maybe 3 cloth diapers a day on a bad day. 1-2 is average though.The Smith Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06779618685796719446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-10266616498911003272009-10-12T11:22:20.244-04:002009-10-12T11:22:20.244-04:00I just sat my 3-month old on the edge of the sink when we got up in the morning, and he peed! I need to get a potty chair, though, because I know pee is sterile but I still don't really want him peeing in the sink.Hannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12519685315586889843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-24669688911989766492009-10-12T09:57:19.076-04:002009-10-12T09:57:19.076-04:00I don't see how this would save me anything. I wash every other day the same way no matter how many diapers I have used. When my daughter started waking up dry in the morning or after naps, I did put her on the potty. She started going at those time when she was just a little over a year. Now, she's potty trained at 2.5. I don't know if that made any difference or not.Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18220013144067253150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-58594925903303030712009-10-11T20:02:03.759-04:002009-10-11T20:02:03.759-04:00We started around 11 months doing this with our daughter. Usually if her diaper wasn't that wet after a nap I knew she needed to go, so we'd sit her on a small potty we got from Ikea and she'd go after both her naps and once in the morning. Now that she's mobile it's tougher to get her to stay still but we still let her go diaper free most of the time she's home. 365 diapers a year is a lot to not have to wash!!Amber Liddlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049947191143341720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-79151699773290481202009-10-11T15:48:00.279-04:002009-10-11T15:48:00.279-04:00I did this with our first and part time with our second! Planning to go back to it with our next baby due May.... Oldest (22 months old) is telling us when he has to go after taking a "potty strike" for a while. Potty training himself yet?? Not sure... guess we will see if he decides it is time to wear big boy pants here soon.Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00740633173171643894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-30152564002894341662009-10-11T14:05:07.595-04:002009-10-11T14:05:07.595-04:00I've never really understood what this is all about and am curious.

So they get used to the idea? I am not sure if I get it...maybe I do! hahaElizabeth Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12942055604148509012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-56439986857332074042009-10-11T11:14:05.518-04:002009-10-11T11:14:05.518-04:00My 13 month old has been going on the potty just about every day for the past 3 weeks!
