Unconventional EC'ing?

by Chante

One very funny moment happened recently. I brought my baby to the bathroom in the morning as we usually do. This morning I had to go just as bad as she did. I was faced with a slight dilemma until I took advantage of what was around me that we both could use at the same time. There was a trashcan next to the toilet in our bathroom so I held her over that. She didn't seem to mind. I was very happy she was a breastfed baby as her poo is a tad bit nicer on the nose. I never thought I'd be faced with that situation, but it was bound to happen. Such are the adventures of an EC'ing baby!


Keep in mind, where he goes does not matter. What is important is... your cueing, your sound and your reassuring, gentle pressence.
