EP43. Elimination Communication: Diaper-free Wisdom from our Community


Listen Later

In this episode, the focus is on elimination communication—a potty method that involves learning and responding to a baby's natural cues. Katelyn and Liv, members of our community, share their personal experiences and wisdom on practicing elimination communication with their children. 

They discuss how the practice fosters a deep level of trust and presence between mother and child, the benefits of reducing diaper waste, and tips for other mothers interested in trying this method. Key takeaways include the importance of being present and patient, respecting the baby's natural instincts, and the environmental benefits of reducing diaper use.
