Elimination Communication: Diaperless Babies!?

A comment to the green diaper post prompted me to check out diaperless babies.  What could be more green than not using diapers at all?  Check out this website.  There's a whole non-profit associated with how to not diaper your baby.

As I read through the site, I was SHOCKED at how similar the technique is to potty training your dog.  I used the exact techniques listed to potty train my dog.  Now, if I take her out and say, "go potty," she will, every time. It's great before road trips, etc.

I think I could be interested in trying this technique, especially if I were a stay at home mom.

Hi, glad you discovered this topic. I wanted to add that many parents use diapers in between potty visits. Some people get the wrong impression and think we let babies "go" all over the place. The important thing is that it lets parents gradually reduce the amount of diapers they use while still maintaining hygienic conditions in the home.

Here are some links for more info:

We used it with our third and enjoyed it very much, were delighted to start and finish sooner than we had with traditional delayed toilet learning.
