Clean-up, clean-up, everybody do your share...

Let's talk about the thing nobody wants to talk about when starting EC:

The pee on the floor. The surprise poop.

The giant mess you're imagining when you hear someone say "naked observation time."

Today's question comes from a first-time mom who is starting EC with her 10-month-old and wants to know:

How exactly do you clean up all this pee and poop while observing your baby?

The good news is that if you're doing observation correctly, you shouldn't be cleaning up nearly as much as you think.

In this episode, I'll share how to prevent most messes in the first place, how much observation time you actually need, and my favorite tricks for making clean-up quick and painless.
