Andrea Olson of Go Diaper Free explains elimination communication - the concept of pottying your baby, as early as birth - which is what people have done for all of human history and in today's world where there are no diapers. She makes it easy to integrate EC into your modern lifestyle as a new parent, demystifies how to know your baby needs to go, how to take them to the toilet instead of primarily relying on the diaper, and makes EC approachable, accessible, and fun, for all parents...whether part-time, with or without diapers, and in any region of the world. Contrary to popular marketing messages, diapers are tools, not toilets, and babies are ALL born "ready" to use the toilet. Learn how to connect with your baby on this very natural level with Andrea's expert guidance, and experience the freedom of a life without dependence upon diapers, a life without traumatic toilet training, a life where your baby gets a head start on developing motor skills, communication, and learning by prioritizing this age-appropriate skill (0-18 months). EC honors your baby's dignity and makes parenting THAT much easier! Stop changing blowouts...and learn how to listen to your baby's requests for good hygiene. Learn more at godiaperfree.com. (PS - Andrea also occasionally covers potty training, for those of you who find us after 18 months.)Andrea Olson Exercise & Fitness Fitness, Diet & Nutrition Hygiene & Healthy Living

    #115 Balancing Work, Life, + EC (guest post)
    May 26 2026

    This is a guest post from Natalie Robbins, our certified coach serving Indianapolis and surrounding areas.

    Enjoy! xx Andrea

    Whether you work full time or part time, working from home adds an extra challenge to the already-demanding task of caring for a baby. Or is it the other way around? Caring for a baby (or toddler) can make work extra challenging....

    Either way you put it, I would argue that practicing Elimination Communication can actually make your working and caretaking struggles easier. Less time-consuming poopy diapers to deal with, a happier baby, quick and easy diaper changes, and early potty independence, among other benefits. But, it's quite the balancing act, trying to figure out how to practically insert it into your work day, especially if you're just getting started.

    Here are a few things I've learned from practicing EC while working full time (as a virtual teacher) from home.....starting during the newborn stage, to a crawling baby, and now entering early toddlerhood.

    May 19 2026

    Ever found yourself wondering…"Was that a signal…or just random fussiness?" Or maybe you've heard "watch for signals" but you're like…what does that actually mean??

    In this episode, we're clearing up the confusion between signals vs signs—and why it matters (or doesn't) Because once this clicks…EC gets a whole lot easier.

    #112 Separation Anxiety
    May 12 2026

    Everything was going fine…and then suddenly your baby won't sit on the potty. Clingy, upset, refusing, wanting YOU only. Separation anxiety can totally throw a wrench into your EC rhythm.

    In this episode, we're talking about what's really going on—and how to keep things gentle, connected, and moving forward (without forcing it). Because this phase? It's normal.
