The Go Diaper Free Podcast

Today I'm gonna share a bunch of testimonials from mamas (and one daddy) who've done Elimination Communication and/or potty training with their babies, using the Go Diaper Free resources as their guide.

These are amazing and I hope that they both warm your heart and inspire you just like they do for me.

Parents, you may be wondering how to be successful at potty training while your child is in daycare much of the day.

For most parents these days, some type of childcare is part of their child's week. Whether its grandma's house, a dayhome/in-home daycare, full or part-time daycare, or even a drop-in at the gym….

So how do you potty-train while your child is in someone else's care?

There was a time, not so long ago that daycares took some responsibility over potty-training, or even led the process completely.

What do we do to get daycares to support potty training NOW??

My oldest son turns 11 years old this week!! He's always been the "star" of my book and videos, bringing EC to the world in a big way (and he's proud of it!).

In celebration of this wonderful event, I'd like to share a little bit about how I believe doing elimination communication with him, from birth, has impacted his life as a now pre-teen.

As part of today's show, I would also like to encourage you to listen to Kaiva's full EC story in episode 11 of the Go Diaper Free Podcast at godiaperfree.com/11.

Today we're going to have a lively debate: what is the best diaper for elimination communication?

Are disposable diapers okay for elimination communication, or should they be avoided at all costs?

Do you have to commit to cloth diapers to make elimination communication successful? (OMG major overwhelm!)

Do compostable diapers even work? (Or do they fall apart right when the pee hits them?!)

I'm going to unveil the mystery of "which diaper to use for elimination communication" (or infant potty training) right now.

Keep in mind:

• With elimination communication, diapers are used as a "back-up," not a full-time toilet
• We are only using diapers for 12-18 months with elimination communication, versus 3-4 years if you're doing conventional toilet training.

With that in mind, let's go through the pros and cons and, at the end of today's show, I'll make my recommendation!

In today's guest post, Caroline (one of our German EC coaches) considers the sum of job + household + kids + sudden unforeseen adventures that all in all seem to leave too little time or energy for more….

Does this sound familiar? Have you caught yourself facing the same challenge: that you cannot possibly match EC with your current lifestyle? Then please listen to today's show...there might be a surprisingly easy (and motivating :)) answer to how to do elimination communication with very little time...especially while being a working mom or dad.

Today, Caroline will explore how we can fit in part-time elimination communication into our already-busy lives as working parents. Enjoy and be sure to get the full show notes and add your comments or questions here when you're done listening: https://godiaperfree.com/150
