Imagine infants free from painful diaper rash, new parenthood without thousands of dollars wasted in diapering costs, toilet training that is natural and noncoercive, and, most important, happier babies and parents
As Christine Gross-Loh reveals in her progressive, enlightening book, all this is possible and more. Infants are born with the ability to communicate their need to "go," just as they communicate hunger or sleepiness. Gross-Loh, a mother of two children who were diaper-free at eighteen and fifteen months, uses the tenets of "elimination communication," or EC, to teach parents how to identify and respond to their baby or toddler's natural cues.
Unlike the all-or-nothing approach of some parenting books, The Diaper-Free Baby addresses three categories of parents: full-time, part-time, and occasional EC'ers. Parents can practice EC as much or as little as fits their family and lifestyle. A support group within a book, The Diaper-Free Baby also includes inspiring testimonials throughout every chapter. Parents who have successfully practiced EC identify common struggles, share experiences and problem-solving tips, and provide encouragement for those new to the technique. Their motivational stories together with Gross-Loh's practical advice will appeal to all parents interested in a fresh alternative to traditional toilet training.

Summary: Many involvement levels and alternate situations listed.
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. I also bought "Diaper Free" by Ingrid Bauer and while I liked her writing, it seemed that she was more of a completely diaper-free person. Gross-Loh (this book) gave alternatives for Full-time, part-time and occasional use. It made it really easy for me to feel that it was adaptable to my situation and any way I did it was ok and their were some helpful guidlines. There were also helpful guidelines that I will prob try to impliment with my conventially diapered 2 year old. My daughter is now 3 weeks old and even with just our part-time/ occasional and a 2 year old we're catching 3 or 4 a day and most of the night time ones without stress or much effort. A beautiful concept that the Western world isn't in to, but soooo easy to do. I felt a bit overwhelmed thinking about doing it, but this book helped me feel that it really wasn't that big a deal and you just do what you can. Would definately recommend.

Summary: Diaper Free MEANS Diaper Free.. Am I Right?
Comment: The premise of this book is that you can rid your life of diapers. But it's by 15 to 18 months??? That, to me, is not amazing. Sell me a book about eliminating them at birth and I will buy it. My point is, you have been buying diapers for 15 months, most kids are going to the toilet by 24 months.. what's the point. That's not thousands of dollars in savings. That's doing the same thing that people have always done a few months early.
