WHY do I have to make a choice between ec and cuddles 🥹

Basically baby wakes up very adorable, smiley, warm and cuddly. he likes to be hugged right after waking up. But I have to give up those sweet moments to offer potty fast before he takes morning poop in his diaper. It's seriously so hard to choose between development and cuddles😭

Started ec at 1 yo, what's the next step?

I discovered ec when baby boy was 11 months but started when he hit 12 months. It was tiring at the beginning because he didn't understand what he was supposed to do after sitting. But it got better when someone here suggested leaving him with no diaper for some time he understood and started peeing and pooping in the potty. I do lazy ec now by offering potty after sleeping,naps, eating and before baths or going out, and sometimes when I myself go I put him on the potty beside me.

It's been pretty good but maybe I'm aiming for better.

I want to know how do i teach him to sign potty. he never does and if i didn't offer he will pee or poop in diaper no problem. I want him to communicate with me when he needs to go.

Also, when do i transition him from potty to toilet reducer? Is there a certain milestone for that?
