Only let them on the couch or beds after they have recently peed. In my experience, my children have never had an accident on the furniture, only on a carpet if walking around the floor. I also only go fully diaper free once they can walk bc you can start to communicate the potty better and they can walk to it as they get more advanced. Before walking I keep organic cloth diapers on. I do EC as well from small age but I have found it has only worked best once they can sit. Before they are sitting it can be a bit difficult to hold them on the potty consistently. So I usually just do full time organic cloth diapers until they can sit. Once they can sit I do part time diapers and try and just catch the poops. Pee in the diaper is expected, but they start to develop a relationship with the potty once they are pooping in it. Then once they can walk, I just get rid of the diapers unless we are not home (don’t want them peeing in car seat etc). But they start to learn very fast. Removing the diaper for night is the last step but my son got it by 18 months and never had an accident at night!
