Perspectives

A phrase that's appearing more and more within the baby pottying (Elimination Communication) community is "Lazy EC".

But what does it actually mean?

I recently asked Aki MacFarlane, EC Educator and Mentor, exactly that question, and her answer was this...

The idea of pottying a baby from birth sounds strange, alternative. Maybe even extreme.

But historically, it was neither unusual nor niche.

Across many parts of the world, for most of human history, babies were routinely helped to wee and poo outside of nappies from infancy as a part of normal, everyday life.
