009 / The Simple Way to Catch Your Newborn's First Pee (Without Adding Anything to Your Day)
from Held & Heard: Infant potty training, elimination communication & postpartum motherhood · host Heather Medlin, Ready From Birth
If you’ve ever thought, “This sounds amazing… but I don’t know where to start,” this episode is for you. In this episode, I’m walking you through three simple, natural moments that are already built into your day—where your baby is very likely to pee or poop… and how to respond in a way that feels easy, intuitive, and doable (even in the newborn stage). We’re talking about: Why your baby almost always poops during or after feeding—and how to use that to your advantage The subtle “waking up” cues that actually mean your baby needs to pee What to do right when you take your baby out of the car seat (this one is a game changer) How to start EC without pressure, perfection, or doing it “all day long” This is not about doing more. It’s about noticing more—and responding just a little sooner. You don’t have to wait until things feel easier. You can start right here—with what your baby is already showing you. Let's do it together: get real time support, encouragement, and troubleshooting inside The Listening Circle , a global community of EC mamas learning to listen to our babies, together. ______________________________ 🐣 Learn more about natural infant toilet learning and elimination communication at readyfrombirth.com 🌱 Check out Hiro Diapers, the healthiest diapers you can buy (for your baby AND the earth) 📲Follow along on Instagram @readyfrombirth.ec
