I sort of do with DD - well she leads it. She's seven weeks and she will generally let me know if she needs to wee - if I'm paying attention and I'm fast I'll get the nappy off and then she'll wee in it when I cue her.
She's just weeing in nappies at the moment, and she, quite rightly, won't wear a wet one. We're going through 15/16 every 24hrs which is a PITA with all the washing.
I've tried cueing over a bowl, once, and she didn't seem keen, and didn't wee - it also seemed really awkward to hold her and we both got stressed. What's the best way to do this - seems daft to get her to pee into a clean nappy every time Is she too wee for a potty if I held her?
Also, any advice on what she should wear? She's in babygrows at the moment, and they take ages to get through the poppers. I have tried her in a t-shirt and baby legs, but she's not keen because the tshirt rides up all of the time - maybe a vest and babylegs?. I want to keep her in nappies - I'm not a serious ECer and can't be doing with cleaning up misses. Plus if she's asleep she just goes whenever.
Any advice welcome?
