015 / How to Potty Train Your Baby by One (Even as a Busy Working Mom)

If you're a working mom, preparing for a too-short maternity leave and already lining up daycare - this episode is for you.  You want the best for your baby, you're setting up the premium diaper subscription (by the way, do you know about Hiro? They're my number one pick for disposables to use with EC), and you're wondering how you're going to juggle it all.  But did you know, elimination communication can work for YOU too? In this episode, I’m sharing how we used EC to potty train both our youngest two children by one (and why you'd even want to)  — while working, using childcare, juggling multiple kids, and living very normal busy modern lives. Not by “training” a newborn. Not by forcing independence. And definitely not by sitting at home staring at our baby all day. We’re talking about: how elimination communication actually works in real life as a working mom why early potty learning can make postpartum easier, not harder why misleading guidance about “readiness” often delays toilet learning longer how to lay the foundation during maternity leave before returning to work what to do about childcare for EC why consistency matters more than perfection If you want a simpler, more connected and more sustainable way forward than diapers as usual — and you’re tired of being told to just wait until your child is older — this episode will open up an entirely different possibility. Especially if you’ve ever caught yourself thinking: “I would love this… but there’s no way it could work for someone like me.” Friend, I work too. And this episode is for you. And if this episode resonated with you, here are two more episodes to listen to next: → Why EC Makes the Newborn Phase Easier If you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or wondering how on earth you could add something “extra” during the newborn stage, start here.  → How We Make EC Work as a Working Family Curious how we make EC work with childcare?
