11/30/2013 The first ECDuring the Thanksgiving holiday, Nina was constipated. Possibly due to the change of environment, busy outing, or the introduction of the new solid food; banana. Soon after we got home, I smelled her poo, so I asked Ron to change her diaper. Sure enough, it was a poo. He told me to come over. She was still going. I figured this is the perfect opportunity to introduce EC (elimination communication) to Nina, since we caught the action. I brought over the brand new Baby Bjorn potty seat, and let her sit while I made a sound of grunting, like nGoooh. (This will be the cue sound next time). As I kept making the sound, her poo kept coming out. It was the longest log I've ever seen from her!
Later the day, I saw her looking like she's wanting to go again. I quickly took her diaper off and put her on the potty, and made the cue sound. Amazingly, she went for another log!!! I was so thrilled and motivated to try again, especially after feeling hesitant about starting EC. It was a successful start. Comments are closed.
