Elimination communication problem solving starts with lowering pressure, checking timing and cues, and treating misses as information. Common issues include quiet cues, regressions, clusters of misses, and returning to EC after a pause.
First reset: pick two easy daytime windows, keep the same cue, and use full backup elsewhere for a week.
Illness, teething, travel, and developmental leaps commonly muddy signals — expect more misses and return to basics after.
