Elimination Communication is a new name for an old fashioned method to assist a baby to potty. In some countries, it was called ‘holding a baby out’. The term ‘elimination communication’ was penned by Ingrid Bauer in her book Diaper Free! The Gentle Wisdom of Natural Infant Hygiene (2001). When born, a baby will not want to instinctually soil themself and if given the chance (held out) they can eliminate into a potty/container. Caregivers can offer the toilet opportunity to their baby based on natural elimination ‘timing’, and watch for their baby to signal the need to eliminate. A caregiver will also communicate with the baby using cues (verbal or sounds).
