Parents who use cloth diapers don’t usually worry about how green our diapering choices are. We feel pretty safe in assuming that cloth diapers are better for the environment than disposable diapers. It seems obvious, right? They fit all the criteria: Reduce (36 diapers instead of 6,000), Reuse (use the same diapers over and over, [...]

Several friends sent this story to me last week. If you didn’t hear about it, here’s the deal: last week, a woman brought her potty training twins to a Utah restaurant. Where she proceeded to potty them. In the restaurant. At the table. Using little portable potties. While they (and all the other diners) were [...]
June 29th, 2012 lcbaker Most people, when they first hear about elimination communication, are intimidated — terrified, even — at the thought of diaperless babies. I find this hard to picture, because I know so many people who leave diapers off a lot of the time. But I have come to realize that for many parents, leaving the diaper [...]

Teddy is two weeks old today, and he has a diaper rash. And I don’t mean to sound like a high-maintenance over-worried first-time mom or anything, but to me, this is a disaster of massive proportions. There are several reasons. One, Anastasia never had a diaper rash. Not once. She did get a mild rash [...]
November 16th, 2011 lcbaker This past weekend, while my mother-in-law was in town, I got our room ready for the baby. This is a big accomplishment on so many levels. First, you have to realize that between our bedroom and the guest room, I’m pretty sure there were boxes I hadn’t unpacked since my husband and I got married. [...]
November 14th, 2011 lcbaker The topic for our DiaperFreeBaby meeting this month is EC’ing through transitions. Transitions are a big deal in our house. They’re hard for any kid, but they’re especially hard for my daughter. When she was born, this was hard for me to adjust to. I’m a roll-with-the-punches kind of girl. I love to be spontaneous. [...]

The topic for our DiaperFreeBaby meeting this Friday (where I hope to see you!) is babywearing and elimination communication. I thought this would be fun to talk about, partly because I’ve been thinking about babywearing lately as I anticipate doing it a lot again soon, and partly because even though plenty of people practice EC [...]

Sleep or pee? No, I’m not talking about those midnight pregnancy awakenings (that’s a relief, right? I’m sure you’re tired of all this pregnancy TMI). No, I’m talking about my three-year-old daughter. Let her sleep or wake her to potty? That’s my parenting dilemma this week. I feel like I should offer a couple of [...]
September 19th, 2011 lcbaker One of the biggest misconceptions about elimination communication–one I hear all the time–is the idea that the point of it is potty training. Which is perfectly understandable: it does involve helping a baby use the potty, so it can look a lot like potty training from the outside. I say this all the time–DiaperFreeBaby actually issued a [...]
