I’ve been incredibly busy lately, and because of that I haven’t been as good about offering Galen the potty.
It’s sometimes hard to find a balance between living life and offering the potty. For me the thing that has always worked the best is timing. Just getting to know about how often my baby goes potty.
This [...]

I can’t believe that Galen is getting close to a year old. It seems like just yesterday that I was holding a little newborn over the potty. But now I have a little one who crawls everywhere and is pulling up on everything.
Life is busy for us. Since the school year started I’ve [...]

I haven’t updated how EC’ing has been going in a couple of months because we’ve been so incredibly busy.
We took a road trip to visit family last month. I offered Galen the potty while we were on the road, though he didn’t use it much. We drove for about 2 days with stops [...]
This month we’ve taken a big step with EC’ing – Galen is going diaper free at night. It has been an interesting experience thus far, and a pretty good one Now that our big kids are dry all night I felt a little more enthusiastic about working with Galen at night.
I began by [...]
I had an old flannel sheet lying around. And some leftover fabric from making pajamas. I decided to use these to make an attempt at my own trainers for Galen. I really enjoy sewing, and I really want Galen to be comfy and used to wearing pants/undies. So I decided I’d use what I had [...]

I’m getting this update in late – Galen turned six months old two days ago. But my dad came up for a visit since he wasn’t able to come with my mom after Galen was born, and spending time with Granddaddy (and awesome Daddy) trumped all writing!
So I’ll give an update on how things [...]

This is the first audio Natural Birth and Baby Care has offered and it took me a bit of time to get [...]
The elimination communication Q&A I’m doing with Marija from ECWear.com is coming up this week. We’ve gotten a lot of good questions in thus far – and we’ll probably have time for a few more. Get your questions in to me by tomorrow evening for consideration for the Q&A!
Learn more or contact me [...]
I have to admit I love elimination communication with Galen. There are times it can get frustrating, yes (especially when I get wet…) But on the whole I’m really enjoying it. I love Galen’s little facial expressions.
I think it’s because we’ve been taught that babies are not supposed to have any bladder control or any [...]
Would you like to hear about the experiences of other families with their “diaper free” babies? Do you have a question about how to get started? Or are you in the midst of “EC’ing” and wondering about a few things?
Later this month ECwear.com’s owner Marija and I are going to be to be doing a [...]
