Earlier this month on Bumpsuit’s new podcast, 'The Village,' she revealed that she's been trying elimination communication with her daughter, which is the process of focusing on your baby's nonverbal cues to determine when they need to go to the bathroom instead of using diapers.

"It's incredible. It's so validating," Willis told Bumpsuit founder Nicole Trunfio of the process. "We got a little potty. Derek even has a little potty song he plays for her." Willis then went on to sing the song.

"Babies have bodily awareness, so they don't want to poop themselves," she continued per People Magazine. "We train them out of it by putting them in diapers and look, there's no way I can catch all of her pees. They don't make a cue for it, or maybe they do if you're super, super aware. But I try to get as many as I can and it's awesome. I think it's so great."
