#128 Can a non-verbal child be potty trained? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Does your child need to be able to say "pee" or "poop" before you can potty train? Nope! Babies communicate with us LONG before they can talk...and pottying is no different.In today's episode, I'm talking about why verbal communication is NOT a prerequisite for potty training, how babies and toddlers communicate their potty needs without words, and why doing EC before your baby can talk actually makes a whole lot of sense.If you've been waiting for words before ditching diapers, you'll definitel
#127 Bucking Baby! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Has your baby suddenly started stiffening their body, straightening their legs, and refusing the in-arms EC hold? We call this "bucking"...and yep, it can happen even when EC was going beautifully before! Your baby isn't suddenly "bad at EC." There's usually a reason behind the resistance. In today's episode, I'm sharing 5 reasons your baby might suddenly start bucking during potty time...plus 17 things you can try to get things flowing again. Maybe your baby is working on rolling, crawling, or
#126 How do I start EC or toilet learning with a young toddler (12-18 months old)? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just finding EC and your baby is already 12–18 months old? First of all: you are NOT too late! I don't even love the term "Late Start EC" because...late according to who?

In today's episode, I'm sharing exactly how I recommend starting EC with a 12–18 month old, what to do about observation time with a b
#125 Diaper-free time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is your baby getting really good at peeing on the floor? You might be doing a little too much naked time. Last week we talked about the difference between bare-bum time and diaper-free time. This week, we're going deeper into WHY that difference matters. Naked observation time is an awesome tool for learning your baby's signals and natural timing. But once you've gathered that information, keeping your baby naked all the time can actually teach a habit you probably don't want: pee wherever, when
#124 How do I balance bare-bum time and diaper-free time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the biggest mistakes I see parents make when starting EC is keeping their baby naked for too long. "But isn't more naked time better?" Actually...no. Bare-bum time and diaper-free time each have a purpose, and knowing when to use each one can make a huge difference in your EC journey. In this episode, I'm answering a question I hear all the time: How much bare-bum time should I do, and when should I switch to diaper-free time with a backup? I'll explain why the balance matters, how too mu
