Why EC Starts Early…and why you should not wait to read this book!
Elimination Communication (like breastfeeding and offering nap time) inherently starts early. Babies are born ready, born signaling, born with the desire to stay dry & hygienic (not sit in pee or poo). Conventional toilet training starts when baby shows signs of “readiness,” ranging from 18-36 months of age! You might not realize that EC can start on day one (although you can start at any age, 0-12+ months)….
- I totally get how hard it is to have a new baby, or be pregnant, or just to be making a living. We are all so busy! But I wouldn’t put off starting EC…just avoiding most poopy diapers makes it worth the up-front effort. : ) Whether it be an occasional, part-time, or full-time practice, if you can start today, you’ll be happy you did!
Most parents regret that they didn’t
learn about (or start) EC earlier.

Pregnant? Read this book now and be prepared. Have a newborn? Start EC before you both become dependent on the diaper. Have a 5-11 month old? Start untraining baby out of those diapers today. Have a 12+ month old? You can apply the concepts & philosophy of EC found in this book to an earlier start in conventional toilet training, too. It’s never too late to start! |

As you can see, EC Simplified is a complete, detailed, clear collection of information that will help you with every aspect of starting and maintaining a thriving practice of Elimination Communication.
Want to see more? Take a peek inside…
Because you aren’t able to flip through my book at a bookstore (I did this on purpose because I want you to have an interactive tool, not just a textual book)….here are some screenshots that will help you see what you’re going to receive:
Wondering “What if it doesn’t work for me”?
Many parents have the fear that EC won’t work for their particular baby. However, 50%+ of the world babies are potty independent by 12 months. It does work. For 200,000+ years it has worked! EC works because your baby is born ready!
If you don’t commit to starting or put a little up-front effort in [even just once a day], just like breastfeeding, it probably won’t work, and it certainly won’t last. But, I believe in you. Billions of parents worldwide have paved the way. Start reading my book today and give it an honest go!
And remember…potty training is inconvenient
no matter when you start. It’s your choice:
begin today or simply wait 3-4 more years…
I promise it will still be there after all that time. :)
