Observation + Intuition = Success 👀


When people start EC the hardest thing to explain is “potty intuition”.

Because what do you mean you just sense that baby needs to pee??

That’s why I always teach intuition WITH observation.

It’s much easier to just note down your baby’s signals, or the last time they peed.

This week’s episode is a guest post from one of our coaches, sharing about the ways that intuition and observation work together to make the ultimate EC combo.

Do moms really “just know” when baby has to go?

What does intuition look/feel like in your family? Did it come easily? How does it work in conjunction with (or without) observation?

Okay stay with me… What does the Stone Age have to do with EC? 😅 In this episode, I’m applying The Continuum Concept to elimination communication — and it might totally reframe how you see potty learning. Before disposable diapers, potty charts, and formalized “training.” There was just… responding to babies. 💚 We’ll talk about what our ancestors likely did, how modern culture shifted things, and why EC actually makes a whole lot of sense when you zoom way out. 🌎 This isn’t a new trend....

You know the look. They get quiet, they disappear, maybe they hide behind the couch. 🙈 And by the time you realize what’s happening… it’s too late. If you’ve got a stealth pooper on your hands, this episode is for you. I’m sharing 4 simple ways to handle the hiding, the sneaking, and the “don’t look at me while I poop” phase — without turning it into a battle. 💚 It’s not defiance. It’s development.

Okay this one is SO interesting. What’s actually happening in real EC homes around the world? 🤔 Nuria surveyed over 1,000 elimination communication families 🌎 and the results might surprise you. When do most babies start? When are they out of diapers? What do families struggle with most? In this episode, we dig into the real data on exactly what families are actually experiencing. You are way more normal than you think. LISTEN OR READ NOW >> After you've taken a look, you are invited to join...
