Elimination Communication Cues

Timing, baby signals, and caregiver sounds — the EC trio.

Elimination communication cues include baby signals (stillness, fussing, straining, toots) and caregiver cues (a consistent sound or word). Combined with timing after feeds and wakes, cues help you offer the potty at the right moment.
Timing is a cue too. After feeds, on waking, and at transitions are high-yield windows even when body language is quiet.
Pee-focused detail: how do I know my baby needs to pee? Whiffy often precedes Poo — offer when you hear it.
Quiet babies can still succeed: lean on the clock and soft offers. See baby won’t cue.
