EC Resources
Elimination Communication is a practice of taking your baby to an appropriate potty place when s/he needs to go, rather than depending entirely on diapers. In many parts of the world, where washing machines and disposable diapers are not accessible, EC is simply standard behavior and has no special name. Many western parents practice EC as part of their overall natural parenting to build a closer relationship with their baby, to improve their baby's health and hygiene, and to conserve natural resources out of environmental concerns.
