FAQs
-
Baby pottying (also known as Elimination Communication or EC) is the practice of responding to your baby's natural need to wee and poo outside of a nappy. Rather than relying entirely on nappies, you learn your baby's rhythms, cues and timing and offer a potty or toilet at appropriate moments.
-
No. Potty training typically happens with older toddlers and focuses on teaching a new, distinct set of skills.
Baby pottying is about communication and awareness from infancy. You're responding to your baby's needs in the moment, much like feeding when they're hungry or helping them sleep when they're tired.
-
The course is suitable for babies of any age, starting from newborns through to young toddlers (pre-walking).
Many parents start during pregnancy or in the newborn months, but it's never too late to begin potty learning. The course includes guidance for babies and young toddlers, so you can start wherever you are.
-
-
Absolutely not.
Most families practice baby pottying part-time. Even catching one wee a day, using the potty at predictable times, or offering it for poos can make a significant difference. The course is designed to help you find an approach that works for your family.
-
That's completely fine.
Many families practice baby pottying at home while using nappies and a more conventional routine at nursery. Baby pottying doesn't have to be all-or-nothing.
-
Most families continue using nappies, especially in the early stages.
Think of nappies as a backup rather than the primary place for your baby to toilet. There is no pressure to go nappy-free.
-
Baby pottying is not about perfection. Every potty opportunity helps you learn more about your baby's communication and rhythms. Success isn't measured by catches alone.
-
Most parents are surprised by how little extra time is involved day-to-day.
The course focuses on easy opportunities that fit naturally into everyday life, such as after waking, after feeds, before baths or at nappy changes.
-
Very little.
Many families start with a simple potty, bowl or toilet reduction seat. The course includes guidance on choosing practical, affordable equipment and avoiding unnecessary purchases.
-
Baby pottying is based on the observation that babies communicate their elimination needs and often eliminate at predictable times. Similar practices have been used across cultures throughout history, and many modern families use EC successfully alongside nappies. The course explores both the practical and developmental aspects of the approach.
-
You're not alone.
Many parents join the course because one parent is curious while the other is unsure. The course provides practical, evidence-informed information that helps families decide what feels right for them.
-
A lot of families catch a wee or poo on the first day. For others, it takes a few weeks to build confidence and notice patterns.
The goal isn't instant success but developing awareness, communication and confidence over time.
-
Many families start with social media tips or free information online and feel unsure whether they're doing it "right". The course provides a clear, step-by-step framework that can help you troubleshoot common challenges and find an approach that works for your family.
