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.
