I recently got to talk with local Elimination Communication teacher, Simona, learn about her background and desire to spread the word about EC. Look for her classes in the Bay Area and beyond. If you’d like more information, please contact her with any questions or to sign up for a class.
Here is more about Simona and her work:
Did you know your baby has the natural instinct and ability to ‘go to the bathroom’ in a potty?
Hello! My name is Simona Fino and I am an Elimination Communication Consultant, Certified Doula and Mother. When I was pregnant I learned a secret women around the world have known for centuries. Pottying babies is easy and natural! Babies, like many other tiny animals, are born with the instinct not to soil themselves. Like eating/feeding babies just need a bit of help until they can do it on their own. Generations before us practiced it and parents in many countries around the world currently practice it. In fact, 50% of the world’s babies are potty trained by 1 year of age!
Elimination Communication (EC) is a gentle way of helping your baby use a potty instead of their diaper. It can be done if you work full-time and have caregivers or whether you use disposable or cloth diapers.
Happy Babies! Happy Parents!
Healthier – babies aren’t sitting in their own waste = no diaper rash!
Calmer – babies needs are being met immediately so they are less fussy
Happier – a deeper connection between you and baby is developed
