These are a few choice snippets.....

SUTTON, Mass. - Parents attempt the early training to forge closer ties with their infants, to reduce the environmental impact associated with diapers.

Isis Arnesen, 33, of Boston, has a 14-week-old daughter, Lucia, who is diaper-free. She said it can be awkward to explain the process to people, such as when she helped Lucia relieve herself in a sink at a public restroom.

Thirteen-month-old Dominic Klatt stopped banging the furniture in the verandah, looked at his mother and clasped his right hand around his left wrist to signal that he needed to go to the bathroom. His mother took the diaper-less tot to a tree in the yard, held him in a squatting position and made a gentle hissing sound —Dominic is a product of a growing "diaper-free" movement. "The nice part is ... really getting the majority of poops in the toilet versus having to clean that," Klatt said. Experts at the Child Study Center at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center say children younger than 12 months have no control over bladder or bowel movements and little control for 6 months after that.

But some parents begin going diaper-free at birth, and the infants can initiate bowel movements on cue as young as 3 to 4 months, said Elizabeth Parise, spokeswoman of DiaperFreeBaby.org, a network of free support groups promoting the practice.

HeHeHeHe....

As a parent of two, this article gave me a good chuckle.

I guess these babies will be banned from airplanes Or buses.....how about when they get diarrhea very common with babies, it gives anew name to "supersquirter!"

This isn't really new. It's more training of the parents than the kids, in my opinion and I'd love to be around when somebody makes a hissing noise and the kid pees all over the floor.

Now those wackos that breastfeed their 5-year-olds.... ah, I'm just jealous.

"Diaper-free" baby + One can of Hormel Chilli...............

I'd be willing to bet that would change the parents' minds

I fear that won't sit well with many adults majorloser.

Please tell me you're joking about giving Hormel chili to an infant.

In that vein, I once saw a woman feeding a rather large three year old Taco Bell and soda.

I can one up that one - While my wife and I were walking the local yearly arts & crafts festival we saw a woman holding her, what appeared to be, 3-4 year old, parallel to the ground while he was nursing on a fully visible boob via an untucked shirt. She was just walking around like nothing everyone nursed a child the size/age of her's. Not pretty.

Nothing against nature's way, just be courteous about it. And, when the kid starts to talk in complete sentences, it just may be time to quit.

-Kindergarten years-
Teacher: "Johnny, where's lunch?"
Johnny: "My Mom hasn't arrived yet."
take it from there...

Anyways, didn't we...well...not really me...go through a diaperless era already? I remember studying about the '60s back in high school...

I'm not so offended by breast feeding.

But your gist is plain...once he's packing his own lunch it's time to tuck away the nipple and pour a glass of milk. Maybe even a little earlier than that.

If he can walk up to mom, unbutton her shirt himself and lift up the bra... it might be time to stop... lol. BUT, with that said, I don't think this is WRONG - it simply starts crossing the lines of general (read:typical) social acceptability.

I also don't think crossdressing is wrong (just freakin weird and an indication that something upstairs is likely broken), nor is it necessarily wrong to put a cute outfit on your german shepherd, but both will garner strange reactions from the average Joe. At least until enough people are sufficiently brainwashed so as to accept it as "normal."

PS. First guy to argue with me about crossdressing is going to have a hard time convincing us that he isn't a closet cross-dresser...

P.S. That it's not "wrong", or that the crossdresser isn't "quite right?"

Those couples are welcome to stay far, far away from my apartment!

To go with Joe Schmoe above - a co-worker called it E.D. for Explosive Diarrhea.

I understand what they are attempting to do here...but

Thirteen-month-old Dominic Klatt stopped banging the furniture in the verandah, looked at his mother and clasped his right hand around his left wrist to signal that he needed to go to the bathroom.

Do they not have homes with toilets in them in Sutton, MA?

Crossdressing is pretty wierd, but when they start talking about putting cute outfits on German Shepherds, that is when they are over the line!

It doesn't cross the line until the German Shepherds start cross-dressing themselves.
