			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone who started reading the blog at the wee beginning knows that we practice <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=elimination+communication&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a"title="to be diplomatic, i just linked to the EC google search results"  target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/article/www.google.com');">EC: Elimination Communication</a> or <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&amp;hs=cag&amp;q=infant+potty+training&amp;btnG=Search"title="INFANT POTTY TRAINING - google search results"  target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/article/www.google.com');">IPT: Infant Potty Training</a>, at least on a part-time basis. So I wanted to do a quick update.</p>
<p>We had what I guess to be about 50-60% &#8220;success&#8221; rate of catching potties. And we were only having to change a dirty diaper about every 2-3 days, since Twilli does most of her poops in the toilet, first thing in the a.m.</p>
<p>While we were out of town, we really relied mostly on the diaper. But I still took Twilli to the potty in the morning to do her daily &#8220;business&#8221;. Since the schedule was wacky, she wasn&#8217;t as regular as usual. So we were having at least one dirty diaper about 5 out of 7 days.</p>
<p>Since we&#8217;ve been home, I&#8217;m proud to say that Twilli is doing really well with it again! I think we&#8217;ve only had 1 or 2 dirty diapers in the 6 days we&#8217;ve been back!</p>
<p>We&#8217;re also happy to be starting the transition to <strong>cloth diapers</strong>! We picked up a small, 1 day supply of 6 unbleached Indian cotton prefolds and 3 covers. I decided to scrounge up enough funds to do that in order to support a <a href="http://cutietooties.com/"title="CUTIE TOOTIES: mama-owned CLOTH DIAPER store "  target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/article/cutietooties.com');">lovely mama of triplets, who decided to amp her efforts from an online store to a p/t brick &amp; mortar store</a>.</p>

<p>Sunny was SOOOO helpful about making it possible for us to get the BARE BONES minimum &#8220;starter&#8221; set. Her store is lovely! I wish her the best of luck and hope all of the natural parents in Knoxville support her!</p>
<p>Those prefolds are SOOOOOO soft!!! And I truly believe that wearing the cloth diapers is going to accelerate the EC, since Twilli definitely feels the effect of the wet diaper and definitely TELLS US about it! (She&#8217;s always been very laid back about the wet disposables. At least they do their job of pulling the moisture off baby&#8217;s bum.)</p>
<p>I somehow feel like we&#8217;ve taken an inside out approach to all of this! Everything I read recommended combining EC w/cloth diapering. But my Westernized &#8220;modern&#8221; ways sometimes hang on with a vengeance! lol</p>
<p>Please leave a comment and let us know if you have any experience with EC or CLOTH DIAPERS.</p>
