Elimination communication/potty training.
My little girl is 6 months old. I'd like to get her to associate potty with going potty!
She cues that she is pooping DURING. Peeing, I haven't noticed any cues.
Past 3 weeks, she has been peeing during diaper change on the table. I tried seeing if she pees when I take off the dirty diaper and have her over the toilet. Nothing. Until I bring her to the changing table.
Is she just wanting to pee while laying down or is it the changing table association?
Would it help to put a mini potty on the changing table or to move the table to the bathroom??
Obviously, keep trying is the key. But not sure how to move forward.
She isn't sitting on her own yet. I have read that sometimes the baby starts to prefer peeing while sitting once they learn to sit on their own. But I still want to take steps before that.

Ladies who are confused/think this is crazy....just because you were brought up with the primarily modern primarily western usage of diapers, doesn't mean generations before us were. And even though e.c. is unheard of here in u.s. these days, it was the only way in the past and still is the way in other countries. Even if money, and access to diaper resources isn't an issue. E.c. helps you and your child bond and feel more comfortable with their body. As long as it's not forced, met with punishment or a sugar rush reward, then why would it be "traumatizing"?

To be clear I'm asking about elimination communication as the beginning of the path of potty training. Not to potty train her early. I figured if I tagged this with #pottytraining, I would be able to reach a broader audience especially those that have successfully gone through this by starting with #eliminationcommunication #ec #e.c.
Those that don't know about it or make assumptions especially with the modern American view, aren't much help on tips but can learn as I am learning.
There are many people, especially older American generations and in other countries that use elimination communication as part of the path to potty training and even some children associate, then communicate, then fully potty trained earlier than the average modern American. This is due to necessity in lots of cases. In my case, it's just to help me as a parent and my child learn early so the process as not as alien to my child earlier. There is no forcing or pushing for anything too soon.
A baby is confused when they start laying on the changing table and getting diaper changes but they slowly learn and associate. Heck, even just pooping in their own diaper can be scary to them but they learn and feel supported by caretakers when caretaker speaks to them and tends to them. Same with all other things, actions, concepts that a child can't yet fully do themselves or say or understand yet the caretaker helps the process by explaining and schedules and learns the language of their own child before words.
I hope I clarified better for those that are confused.

@squishymommy1 Haha yeah exactly it's more parent training themselves to read baby cues or having gone potty, then going, then before and child learning the association and to communicate to get them to the potty in time or even trigger a pee pee in the toilet sometimes.

@mommaofjais no rush, but laying the path for proper communication and association is a goal with everything. Such as baby learning what food/hungry is in association to boobie or bottle or spoon despite not being able to say "I'm hungry" or say "food" or feed herself. I'm sure I'm not rushing her or causing adverse reactions when I say " oh you're hungry!/are you hungry?/time to eat!/ while showing her food or bottle and saying "bottle!/carrots mmmm!" We are building language, association, communication, and schedule. :)

@mommaofjais yes it can potentially have a negative effect as can anything else I do for my baby. If I don't force it, punish, scold, or reward with a sugar rush, then what's the harm?

Have you read any of the books? That might be a good place to start

Not, yet, I definitely want to start at the library. Any recommendations?

Because I don't wish to fully conform to the modern American/some European consumerism and child/parent learning delays?

@rocsiali not to bash on those that use diapers, it makes life more manageable in ways for us especially since more families these days have 2 working parents. It makes sense to utilize diapers to me but I also wish to foster early learning/communication to lead into potty training and eventually hopefully less diapers overall :)

6 months is way too young to be potty training. I’m sorry but that child is still a baby and needs to be in diapers. No way she knows what’s actually going on there 😂 I’d just wait a year and start then so you don’t overwhelm her and create lifelong aversions to using the bathroom on her own.. especially since you said she can’t even sit up on her own yet. Kudos for trying so early but it is way too early.

Bladder and bowel control are not feasible until 1.5 or 2years old but the process of e.c. is communication. To start association what a toilet is and communication of when one has gone potty, then when they are going potty, then eventually BEFORE potty. Of course, forcing it is harsh. Of course it's a delicate process because too early or too late or the way in which it is tried can cause issues. Many other countries and older generations start early to teach. That way, the path to understanding (parent and child both) is laid out before the body can physically onto poo or pee. Such like for example, our babies can learn to associate items , words, and tasks, before they can speak or perform those themselves. Totally natural.
