Go Diaper Free: A Simple Handbook for Elimination Communication by Andrea Olson I’m into it, and Dave is game, so we’re planning to give it a shot as urban dwellers, which might be a little different if we lived in a commune on a farm.Here are our recommended books about Elimination Communication. But I am guessing we’ll have lots more loads of laundry either way.Īlso, I expect you have to do a lot of explaining to other parents about what, how, and why you’re doing this to yourself.
The drawbacks are that you need to use cloth diapers while in the early stages or out in public (so you and the baby can feel “misses”) and we don’t have an in-unit washing machine to handle the laundry. I really don’t like cleaning up poop, so if I can put up with a few weeks/months of figuring out the patterns, the long run could be mess-free. no potty training drama once they reach toddlerhood.a closer communication and connection with the baby.
no diaper rash or cleaning smooshed poop off the baby’s bottom.less dirty diapers to deal with or add to landfills.You hold them over a little potty or bowl, or they share the toilet seat with you, between your legs in a baby squat. Reminds me fondly of housebreaking a puppy. The big lesson is that you can use a combo of reading your infant’s signals (a red face or squirming), relying on timing (often during or after feeding, and right after sleeps), reinforcing pees & poos with cues ( sssss and mmmm), and listening to our parental intuitions (telepathics?) to “catch” whenever the baby has to go. This weekend I finished up the definitive how-to manual for Elimination Communication (aka Infant Potty Training), Diaper Free: The Gentle Wisdom of Natural Infant Hygiene by Ingrid Bauer.
