]]> Comment on What is Elimination Communication? by Kim Borden http://janeconsumer.com/what-is-elimination-communication/comment-page-1/#comment-30655 Kim Borden Sun, 27 Jun 2010 19:53:15 +0000 http://mommypath.com/?p=215#comment-30655 As an early childhood educator, with 30 years experience, I want to applaud Mommies that are saying no-thank you to elimination communication (EC). Caring for an infant is a sacred job. Things like electricity, running water, and diapers do not make the job any less sacred. For pity sake, we need to celebrate the job that mothers do, not come up with cockamamie ideas that make their job more arduous. Women who “discover” ways that make the job of mothering more difficult need to be strung up and labeled as traitors to the sisterhood! I say, “Hooray!” to the women who can see that holding an infant over a potty or a bush or a sink while going tss-tss or pss-pss does not make her a great Mom. But rather, makes her a victim of the so called experts who are trying to sell books. And to the people, who line their pockets with coins from new mommies by burdening them with more work and more guilt, I shake my head in disgust and say, “You should be ashamed!” Elimination Communication… really? I don’t think so!!! As an early childhood educator, with 30 years experience, I want to applaud Mommies that are saying no-thank you to elimination communication (EC).

The La Leche League even encourages visits from ladies before they give birth. Also, finding IRL friends that already do it can be an incredible resource.

I started working with my infant son by sitting with him between my knees when he woke up for his night feedings. By the time he was 14 months, he did not wear diapers during the day nor at night. All three of my daughters were started on potty training at 2 or 3 months. All three were night trained by a year and fully trained by 18 months. None of my children have ever been afraid of toilets - except for the very loud public toilets and the public toilets that flush automatically. To be quite frank, I don't enjoy them very much, myself. While early potty training is both financially and ecologically beneficial, the biggest payoff is emotional.

]]> Comment on Types of Slings by Baby Wearer http://janeconsumer.com/types-of-slings/comment-page-1/#comment-30653 Baby Wearer Wed, 05 May 2010 19:26:30 +0000 http://mommypath.com/?p=210#comment-30653 Great Article! While I understand it is almost impossible to cover every brand of baby carrier there is one brand that seems to be made from a unique fabric and as a result is worth mentioning. The Swaddlesport Pouch Style Carrier is made of a moisture wicking fabric (like a golf shirt) that actually wicks sweat away from the wearer and the baby. This sling is much cooler than the others we have tried. We were even able to get my husband a Swaddlesport, aka his “man sling”, in his college team’s colors. Now our baby will be attending this year’s college football season in style and comfort. Great Article!
