Keen hasn't worn a diaper since we left the hospital. He lays on prefolds and as we snuggle we learn from each other.
I caught a poop the first or second night, our first pee yesterday and a few more today.
I am amazed to see the way he is learning to use the few actions with which he can communicate to say he has to pee, poop or burp.
He wiggles his feet at night to let me know his prefold is wet and I add a new one. He tries to latch but won't when he needs to poop or burp and when he needs to pee he wiggles or kicks.
Often he will communicate before he really has to go then wait and I have to watch for the second EC.
He likes to pee a little, poop, then pee more and he responds to our cue psssss.
Truman likes to join in and cue his brother.
I am more relaxed this time, my mantra is: nurture the relationship, respect the needs of the child, enjoy the catches, forget the misses, stay focused on the present.
... this is why my children don't wear pants ...
