'''Elimination communication''' (EC) is a [[toilet training]] practice in which a caregiver uses timing, signals, cues, and intuition to address  an [[infant|infant's]] need to eliminate waste.  Caregivers try to recognize and respond to babies' bodily needs and enable them to urinate and defecate in an appropriate place (e.g. a toilet). Caregivers either use [[diaper]]s (nappies) as a back-up in case of misses, avoid the use  of them altogether, or do a mixture of the two.  EC emphasizes communication between the caregiver and child, helping them both become more attuned to the child's innate rhythms and control of urination and defecation. The practice can be done full time, part time, or just occasionally. The term "elimination communication" was inspired by traditional practices of diaper-less baby care in [[Developing country|less industrialized countries]] and [(contracted; show full)* [http://www.tribalbaby.org/ Tribal Baby] - From full time nappies to nappy free - Practical tips and strategies for practicing EC
