Their little bladders fill and empty pretty often. He was always in my lap and it was very much second nature to me just to hold him over the potty every little bit. I would keep him on top of a flat cloth diaper in my lap then hold him over his little pot. It is very do-able and you can prove your friends wrong; it's pretty amazing! Nicholla,

I am 27 weeks pregnant with my first baby and the thought of long term dirty nappies makes me nauscious. So I am keen to follow through with this technique. I would like to do this from the beginning but I was wondering how often you put the little one on a small potty in the beginnning. any help here would be great. Nicholla Muscat, Oman. ps. I mentioned this to a few of my friends the other day and they laughed at me so I am even more keen to prove them wrong.

I'm still in awe of how well EC'ing works too - it's amazing that babies are so aware of their elimination needs. It's nice to know I can help him go, and it's also nice to have diapers if I need them. I think the trainers would be nice b/c they'd hold like one pee in case I miss his cues. Diapers are fine for when we're going out and about though! That would be great if you could ask about a good pattern!

I know that the trimsies pattern is VERY trim and since its mainly an AIO/AI2 pattern, that one might be pretty easy to convert to a trainer pattern (just take out the external soaker). Either way, awesome job!! I am so in awe of this! If you want, I can ask on the diaper sewing board that I belong to if there are any recommendations for a good infant sized trainer out there.
