Today's episode is about stealth pooping - and what to do about it! It is a guest post from our certified coach Samantha in California who proposes 4 strategies to get good at catching poops when your baby gives no advance signals. "One of the 'easy' catches, as taught by Andrea, has never been an easy catch for us, and that is poop. My son is now 14 months old and I am now finally coming to terms with the fact that I have a stealth pooper." Enjoy the very practical advice Samantha gives us for those babies who poop without warning, and how you can make your elimination communication practice THAT much better when you master this challenge, once and for all.

Do you ever wonder how most of us practice Elimination Communication (EC), what are our reasons and our difficulties, and what are our results? If we start early, will we truly finish early? At what age are babies able to be poop trained? Pee trained? How often do potty pauses happen? Are partners involved in EC (like, for real)? Finally: real facts about #IRL EC. Today I simplify + share the astounding results of Nuria's study of over 1,000 ECing mothers from around the world...including the average age of EC completion and the profound positive impact of starting potty training in the first year of baby's life. It's amazing...please join me! And share this one far and wide!

Today I'm sharing a guest post from our certified coach, Maru, in London. "The one thing that remains a constant from the day our babies are born is nappies (diapers). The mental hurdle of ditching nappies is huge (for parents mostly, but also for toddlers). I'm going to share a tip that, from my experience, has made the whole thing a lot easier to grasp: potty training is not that different from getting kids to brush their teeth. If we treat it this way, we'll feel less daunted, more confident in our parenting, and more committed to getting it done as soon as possible."

Listen to today's show to find some helpful tips (and anytime she mentions toothbrushing, swap it for potty training).
