ECing?

Elimination Communication...who's doing it? What are your experiences with it? Difficult, easy, in between? Please, please, please share your experiences on this. I am very interested!

I used cloth with son when he was baby. Loved it and wouldn't have it any other way. Doing the same for this one (Due around August), but am really interested in the whole EC thing.

    I EC half the time and have not truly thrown myself into it. One because when we go out in public, society is not accomodating to EC and I can't get Sol's pants off quick enough.
    I catch some poop on the toilet by his cues at home. It was too cold this winter to leave him nakey bum.
    We'll be living in the country this spring and summer and plan on really working on it then where he can sit, crawl naked.

    I only recently heard about EC and am still giving it some thought but will probably not go that route. I think if I'd know about it from the beginning I would be more enthusiastic. In fact, I could see Sam's cues when he was small but didn't think there was anything different I could do. But now that he's mobile, I'm not sure I have the stamina to do EC. But like I said, still thinking because he DOES NOT like being put on the table to get the diaper change.
