  • Thanks for the encouragement and tips

    I had to work a little to find help with this topic, and appreciate the short, focused episodes. Some are more useful than others at different ages, so I find it works best to browse through the archive and find episodes most relevant to where you are.

  • Toddler training

    This podcast has really helped me out during the first few days of potty training with my toddler, since I also have a 7 month old to chase! Listening to the podcast gives me the encouragement, reminders, and confidence I need to keep moving forward even when I miss a pee! Keep working hard mamas and dadas!

    Give your child the keys today!!

  • Good EC info but stay on topic please

    I like the EC information shared on the podcast. I do wish the podcast stayed on topic. I don’t like the anti vax misinformation or the sleep training stuff. I come to this podcast to learn about EC, and I wish they’d just stick with that.

  • Texas momma

    First of all I just found this thing scrolling for hours of trash, second of all Texas momma are one of the people that think everyone should get the vaccine and wear masks 24/7. That’s just her opinion. And I can tell you, as a person with asthma, wearing a mask all day is NOT GOOD.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#126 How do I start EC or toilet learning with a young toddler (12-18 months old)?
Q: Tamar, Gal and Noam in Israel ask how to get a 14-month-old to go to the potty and whether reading books helps, given the child pees inconsistently.
Andrea advises reducing books and prompts, increasing direct instruction to “go pee so we can go back to playing,” and focusing on a structured plan that emphasizes observation, timing, and moving the child to the potty when they start to go, while avoiding distractions that turn potty time into play.
#124 How do I balance bare-bum time and diaper-free time
Q: How do I strike a balance between bare bum time and diaper free time, and why does it matter?
The host suggests using naked time only to observe timing and signals, and using diaper-free time with a clothing backup to give the baby a break from the diaper; if naked time becomes excessive and leads to peeing on the floor, switch to diaper-free time with clothing and adjust gradually.
#122 How do I move from part-time ECing to more full-time ECing?
Q: How do you know when to take things up a notch?
Trust your own observations, assess your current EC practices, and use a structured gap-analysis to decide which areas to expand (e.g., signaling, outings, or catching more cues). The host also emphasizes choosing one or two concrete steps at a time and validating progress without aiming for perfection.
#120 Clean-up
Q: As a first time mom, and therefore first timer at this EC stuff, can you please tell me, what is the best way to clean up the pee and or poop when you are just starting out and observing your child for his or her signals?
The host answers by outlining a structured cleanup approach: collect solids first if present, then use a natural cleaner like Seventh Generation, and for tougher stains a dedicated enzyme cleaner for carpets, while keeping towels handy and the potty nearby to capture midstream poops and pees.
#115 Balancing Work, Life, + EC (guest post)
Q: My question for you, which of these tips stood out most to you and how might it make your work life balance a little easier?
Natalie Robbins emphasizes being present during potty opportunities and aligning EC with the caregiver's rhythm, which helps maintain bonding while still allowing work to proceed. She notes that setting realistic expectations and using consistent potty opportunities reduces stress and improves long-term EC awareness, even if not every moment is perfectly timed.
