  • Elimination Communication at 6–12 Months
From 6–12 months, elimination communication often shifts toward sitting on a potty as baby eats solids and bowel patterns change. Many families catch more poops in the pot while still using nappy backup.
After-meal timing becomes gold for Poo. Seedy newborn stools give way to clearer post-solids rhythms — offer early.
Mobility arrives. Keep potty nearby, clothing easy to remove, and expectations flexible on busy days.
Holding tips while you transition sits: holding positions. Daycare hours: EC and daycare.
