EC’ing Galen – 12 Month Update

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 [...]

8 Month Update – EC’ing Galen

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 [...]

The Home Made Trainers

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 [...]

EC’ing Galen – 5 Month Update

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 [...]

EC’ing Galen – Four Month Update

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 [...]

Curious about Elimination Communication?

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 [...]

EC’ing Galen – 3 Months

Elimination Communication is still going really well with Galen.  I’ve been surprised looking at my site’s statistics – my update pages on Galen have been getting a lot of visitors.  I’m glad to know that sharing our experiences with Galen may be helping some other families out there Galen has had some fussy days lately, [...]

EC’ing Galen – 11 Weeks

Galen is 11 weeks old now and we’ve been EC’ing since his first days.  I am really, really glad we made the choice to use elimination communication.  Galen does not have dirty diapers.  It’s such a blessing!  I’m still awed by the fact that he goes when I set him over the potty bowl or [...]
