Yay for an EC discussion area! Very cool to have previous threads moved too.
Welcome Misty! I find timing works really well for us, as her wee signals aren't always obvious. So we reliably catch wees in the morning, and after naps. The other thing that was helpful was giving her nappy free time at a consistent time every day and watching what happens - now I know if I give her half an hour of nappy free time just after she wakes up, she'll pee about three times and then not do much till her next feed. So if I offer the potty every 10 mins or so, I usually catch those morning wees. (We have nappy free time in the evening as well but that's not so consistent - she feeds on demand so doesn't have a routine. But it might be easier to work out how long between, say, lunch or afternoon BF and next wee if your bub has big feeds less frequently.) Also she tends to poo most often around 3pm; so if she farts or makes another 'maybe poo' signal I put her straight on the potty, whereas farts at other times are usually just farts!
Maya, how did you go with the rellies? Is cousin eating her words?
Tish, very cool that you pottied your nephew and got two catches! Are you going to suggest EC to his parents? I know what you mean about the nappies... adorable MCNs are one of the reasons I'm only a part-time EC-er... if she was totally nappy free I would have to be nappy free!
AFM... DD is getting over her not wanting to sit on the potty thing, yay. We had a couple of ninja poos last week, but are doing better this week... so far! Very glad for EC every time I DON'T have to wipe a pooey bum. Ick.
