Baby Wearing

The Ultimate Green Baby Is The One Who Isn't 'Using' The Diaper They Are Wearing!

Wearing Your Baby Gives You Extra Freedom While Keeping Your Baby Close and Meeting their 'In-Arms' Needs, at All Ages From Newborn To Toddler...

 
Did You Know You Can Use Your Baby Wearing Time To Reduce Your Need For Diapers?

Yes, it's true - baby wearing is a key way parents practicing EC develop their 'potty senses' to reduce their need for diapers.

As I write this my newborn Jett is sleeping on my back with no diaper on, braces and all - as he has Talipes and is in a foot brace. He is in a wrap - a simple length of cheesecloth, a cheap 'entry-level' wrap.

(I got his Dad to take a quick photo...)

Have I got some sort of surreal connection to have him diaper free back there as I scribble in my note book, totally confident I will not be weed on?

No!    ...Well, yes, we do have a sweet bond, (gush, gush, baby gush!) ... but you can learn to do this too - and it is far easier than you might think.

Don't be intimidated by the thought of going 'diaper free' when practicing elimination communication - be part time diaper free and develop your confidence.

Catch a poo and get the thrill of skipping that first diaper change - and catch the "EC" bug...

Jett, like many babies who are having EC experiences, often sleep dry, rousing or waking to have a widdle. So, when he starts to wriggle, I take him down and offer him a pee-break held safely in my arms, whispering 'sss pss' in his sweet little ear. He does a big pee.

This is called using a 'Prime Time' or a 'Timing Opportunity' to communicate with your little baby about their elimination needs.

You can discover how to do this too - to tune into your 'Baby Radar' to use fewer diapers overall - perhaps not everyday, but often enough that slinging time can become diaper-free time.

You know how lots of cultures have a long tradition of baby wearing? They wear their babies to keep them off the ground, to keep them safe, close, for convenience, practicality and for sleeping, soothing and helping them to become part of the society from their earliest days.

Another intrinsic benefit of baby wearing is that you can use it as a tool to reduce your reliance on diapers, instead depending on the bond between you, your understanding of your baby to help them stay clean and dry.

Here are 7 insights into Baby Wearing and Part Time Elimination Communication:

1. Your baby will pee less often when they are upright in a baby carrier.

2. Your baby will signal more clearly when 'on' you - an instinct not to pee on Mum perhaps?

3. Your baby is close to you so your physical connection is 'louder' and so you can pick up on the subtle messages from your baby to reinforce your desire to help them stay clean and dry.

4. Baby is close, so you can use all your EC 'tools' while baby wearing to communicate about 'potty needs' - such as eye contact, language, baby signing and gestures from baby to reduce your need for diapers.

5. You can sense the 'chi pee' - an intuitive signal that your baby needs to 'go' - and let me tell you it is a mind-blowing phenomenon to experience!

6. When wearing your baby, you can listen with your body to their non verbal communication.

7. Carriers that hold your baby's abdomen close to your body amplify your awareness of your baby's needs - like a Ring Sling or soft back carrier.
