Mayaness it sounds like things are still going wonderfully for you guys - well done on your perserverance and braveness for the overnights LOL You're my inspiration that if/when we have another I'll be able to EC with 2 and put those naysayers in their place! LOL
Was at the podiatrist the other day and DS was signing toilet, and the podiatrist was saying that she knew someone who did EC - so it's good to see it getting a bit more well known out there.
We're going pretty well at the moment. DS is pretty consistently signing before he goes (or afterwards with a guilty face and a point to the spot on the carpet, so cute!). There have even been a very few occasions where he's put himself on the potty and gone without me even knowing! Sometimes he uses potty time as an avoidance technique (he does "micro wees" before bed because it prolongs the routine, little bugger), but not too much.
He's going through a stage at the moment where he's weeing on the floor beside the potty alot though, anyone else experienced this?
We carry a potty in the car so we've always got one while we're out. Got a portable cushy tushy but I don't think he feels comfortable with it.
Mostly he's dry all day (still don't trust him in undies while we're out but his nappies stay dry), with maybe 1 or 2 wees on the carpet and a "poomergency" on the carpet once a week or so? For his age I think he's doing brilliantly, and I love to hear people comment when he's weeing in the potty in the parenting rooms while we're out (so does DS for that matter haha).
Nights are still in nappies now though, he wets quite heavily. I know he wakes up to wee in the middle of the night and cries, if I go in to resettle him he'll sometimes sign too. I've tried pottying him but he gets grumpy with me taking his nappy off etc and wants to lay down again when I put him on the potty. Not sure what to do there!
Glad to hear you're having such success Mayaness, how is everyone else doing?
