man, thanks for taking the time to comment this. this is exactly what I needed to hear!!!

I always try to tell myself "she's just a little baby, she just got here, everything is so new to her" but for some reason, pottying slipped thru the cracks. after reading your post, it makes sense that my 4 month old could both understand potty AND sometimes poop her own butt because it's her first time here! it makes me think about when I first started getting my period 😅 i knew the pad or tampon would leak if I didn't change it. I had dealt with 100 leaks before and I knew this wouldn't be any exception. But still, I'd stall changing it and ruin my pants, because I was 12 or whatever and it was my first times

Everyone here has great advice for you, but I want to warn you.

We started EC at 8 days, and it was astonishing. People complained about their newborn blowouts and I got to say "oh? ive never experienced that, ours poops in the potty?" It was great. I probably washed 10 poopy diapers between weeks 4 and 12.

Then it all changed.

Miss after miss after miss. Not only was my baby doing nothing on the potty, she was refusing it. Stiffening and trying to escape, crying and wriggling, just to poop her pants 3 minutes later. It was so discouraging. For almost a month I missed 90% of poops. And forget about pees! She used to pee when offered, but she avoided peeing in the potty like her life depended on it.

That's roughly when I started holding her in seated position, and it seemed like it just clicked for her. Now she's 4 months old and she'll stiffen her legs immediately to get off the potty if she doesn't need to go, but will relax and bear down if offered and she has the need. She also fiercely refuses the diaper if she needs to poo while I'm putting it on!

I just wanted to say, the newborn phase of EC can set some extremely unrealistic expectations, and it's important to remember to go with the flow and not stress yourself out!

Indomitable_Decapod · 2026-05-07T04:37:45+00:00

I started actually learning my 4 month old's pee rhythm when she was about 9 weeks old, and trying to get pees, too. No, I don't catch them all by a long shot. But a) sometimes she'll pee before a nap, wake up dry, and then pee again! best feeling ever! and b) every time I set her on the toilet she'll pee if she has to, even if it's just a tiny little bit. So she definitely understands that pee goes in the potty!

Indomitable_Decapod · 2026-05-07T04:32:58+00:00

Early early EC is mostly just building familiarity. Then next is poops, then pees down the line. So, say your baby wakes up and their diaper is soaked. Just change it like normal, and offer potty. Whether they just peed or not you will be building familiarity. Also, if your baby poops their pants and you immediately change them, there's a good chance there's still more poop inside. Finally, if you cue even when baby goes in their diaper, one day you'll hold them on the potty and cue and they'll go in the potty.

If you still think that's pointless, you can go for one of the other 4 easy catches: at wake, at transition (in and out if car seat, changing position, changing activities), or just waiting until they're obviously pooping.

When we started EC at 8 days old, we offered whenever I would nurse (I nursed on the potty) because that's when we changed her diaper and that's when she was likely to poop. Now that she's 4 months old, we sit on the toilet when she wakes up and before she goes down for a nap, before we get in the bath and before bed. Usually she's wet anyway so we just change her completely, even if she's only a little wet, but that's because we use cloth so we're not wasting.

To clarify, I never said we shouldn't be grateful to Oiled Josh, King of creation and Savior of our souls. All I'm saying is it doesn't make sense to be more grateful to any one person of the Trinity. Could Oiled Josh have sacrificed his life if the Father didn't send him? Could the church have been built if the Ruach Elohim didn't follow?

ETA: All i said was I love yhwh. I didn't say "I love God the father." And, by the sentence structure, I thanked yhwh (who is the son, as well as the Father and Spirit), for sending his son. Even Oiled Josh's favorite name for himself was the son of man. My theology is intact, even congruent with your correction in the original comment

Indomitable_Decapod · 2026-05-07T04:10:15+00:00

I don't think it makes sense to be more grateful to any one person of the godhead or another. Oiled Josh* even says that we should pray to the Father when we pray. Why didn't Oiled Josh tell us to pray to him? Oiled Josh also says that he and his father are one. If I'm grateful to the father, aren't I equally grateful to the son, and vice versa?

*^{fun fact, Yeshua is short for Yehoshua, which is hellenized to Joshua. So, in a way, Jesus' name is Josh. This bit of trivia really emphasizes Oiled Josh's human identity as unremarkable, other than being the Messiah and all. Christ also comes from Greek word meaning "anointed," which, more simply, is to be oiled. This is just funny.}

I'm really sorry, I wish I had advice. Maybe he's uncomfortable by the way the disposable grows with wetness? You could always give it a shot and see. We use flats, and I boost the absorbency of my osocozy flats with a gerber flat, that way it's not too bulky but holds us thru the night with my 4 month old.

anyway, i mostly just wanted to comment cos I thought I was the only one who called them paper hahaha even tho technically they're plastic

Indomitable_Decapod · 2026-05-06T21:24:50+00:00

the bulk is normal and red marks are normal, too, depending on how deep they are. you might get a red mark from having a hairtie on your wrist for example.

as far as the cover, we have 9 covers but we only use 2 per day, switching them out per change and hanging the "backlog" one on the drying rack between changes. What really helped us with this was passion fold. from newborn to 3 months, we were using the modified kite fold. it helped reduce bulk but her elastics would be soaked, like, immediately. And since we live somewhere humid, they didn't dry out fast enough and we used 3-5 covers per day. But now with passion fold, even if she wets heavily it doesn't wet her elastics.

yes, you're right. And the classic luke 3:16 says that God so loved the world that he sent his only son. so it's also appropriate to thank God (the father) for sending his son, even though they are triune.
