I loled at how she talked about how her husband isn't as good at reading cues. Uh yeah probably because he has better things to do than sit around waiting for his child to make the sh!t or pee pee face.

I will never in a thousand years understand EC.

Does this surprise you? She probably also does family cloth & washes it in the bathtub.

I think EC is kind of interesting, but I can't see racing my shitting child to a toilet when she makes poop face.  And what do you do for pee?  Just seems like a lot of work, and I'm lazy.

Well, this is probably a useful tool if you live, for example, in the Kalahari where it is sometimes difficult to obtain diapers, I imagine. But not having to live in filth is one of the great advantages of modern life; I can't imagine choosing to live like this, getting shat or pissed upon multiple times per week, cleaning up all that stuff etc when you inevitably miss. 

And what a skill to be proud of! "I'm better at not getting shat on than my dh!!!" Yes, let's facebook that .

When I was in China, the little kids (little, like 2) all had slits in their pants so their bare asses were hanging out. I guess they would just squat and go wherever, as opposed to diapers. That seems like it would really suck.


WTF is going ON in there?

Wow, that's so amazing that you are sooooo closed minded and judgemental about something before having ANY idea of what it is!

Do you PREFER wiping poo off your baby's private parts on a daily basis for several YEARS?

I don't, so we practice EC and REDUCE or minimize the number of poopy diapers we need to deal with. We also catch many wees in the potty as well - several over the day, reducing the overall number of diapers we need to use / wash / buy.

Shock horror, but yes, your baby wears a diaper between potty visits, imagine that! 

So, anyone reading who isn't freaked out by the idea of changing less diapers and reducing the time your child is in them overall, visit this article:

Offering Baby a Potty Break Can Reduce Your Overall Use of Diapers

 People practicing EC simply offer their baby a potty break at changes, when they wake up, when they are fussing, it is that simple. 'Misses' go in the diaper. No racing of a child to the adult toilet.

Of course, if you want to let them go wherever they will, you can, but that isn't EC - that's just leaving the diaper off and cleaning up.

Part Time Diaper Free! will introduce those with a more open mind to the concept.  http://www.PartTimeDiaperFree.com
