The DiaperFree Baby: The Natural Toilet Training Alternative

Imagine infants free from painful diaper rash, new parenthood without thousands of dollars wasted in diapering costs, toilet training that is natural and noncoercive, and, most important, happier babies and parentsAs Christine GrossLoh reveals in her progressive, enlightening book, all this is possible and more. Infants are born with the ability to communicate their need to go, just as they communicate hunger or sleepiness. GrossLoh, a mother of two children who were diaperfree at eighteen and fifteen months, uses the tenets of elimination communication, or EC, to teach parents how to identify and respond to their baby or toddlers natural cues.Unlike the allornothing approach of some parenting books, The DiaperFree Baby addresses three categories of parents: fulltime, parttime, and occasional ECers. Parents can practice EC as much or as little as fits their family and lifestyle. A support group within a book, The DiaperFree Baby also includes inspiring testimonials throughout every chapter. Parents who have successfully practiced EC identify common struggles, share experiences and problemsolving tips, and provide encouragement for those new to the technique. Their motivational stories together with GrossLohs practical advice will appeal to all parents interested in a fresh alternative to traditional toilet training.
