I read about ECing when RS was a few months old, but didn't give much of a shot. I took out the Diaper Free Baby book out again when I was pregnant with RC and have really been trying to be semi-consistent about it. And it has been great so far!! She has been going to pee and poo on the potty as often as I will bring her. When I don't have time to take her to the potty, she will let me know that she is pretty ticked off. ;-) Today, I went out for a couple of hours and asked C to take her to the potty and cue her to pee about every 5 min or so (since I had just fed her, she goes pretty frequently for about 30 min). He called later and asked how many times she would likely need to go pee and I told him that he should take her NOW if he hadn't yet. He let me know that he had offered it to her twice and she did pee both times. I think even he is a little surprised by how easy it is.
She does seem to be SO much happier since I have been paying more attention to her and when she is "telling" me that she needs to go. She really likes it that she doesn't have to sit in her own waste anymore. This is great news for mommy and baby!
Good to hear it's going well. She made a believer out of me when we were there.
