Summary of Christine Gross-Loh's The Diaper-Free Baby

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The idea that babies are born with the instinct not to soil themselves may seem preposterous to some, but it is true. By putting your children in diapers and changing them only after they have gone, you condition them to use the diaper itself as a toilet. #2 Some parents are faced with double work when training their child to go to the bathroom in a diaper, and then train them to stop doing that and use a toilet instead. This means twice as much work for parents and twice as much adjustment for the child. #3 EC is a lost art in our society. It is still practiced throughout the world, mostly in countries where disposable diapers are a luxury. In America, some version of early potty training was practiced up until disposable diaper use became more widespread in the 1960s and ’70s. #4 EC can be accomplished. If EC is something you’d like to try, you will hear from many parents just like you who have done it with great success. You’ll learn how to practice EC in the way that is best for your family situation and preferences.
