Our son is 37 months old with SEVERE diarrhea issues. As a result, he is still in diapers. Only time will fix this – we are not “insulting” him nor are we and our pediatricians dupes of some sort of diaper industry conspiracy theory.

Hi Irene, thanks for your comment! I totally understand, the extra laundry is extra workload, and it is tough. I do believe a walking child is old enough to know when he/she has to go to the bathroom… some challenges are that they can’t always walk to the potty fast enough, because I think they realize it late sometimes, or, if they get too tied up with playing something, they don’t want to stop playing to take the time to walk to the potty. This can lead to accidents, but they decrease with time and if you keep an eye out for the tell-tale signs that your child has to go to the bathroom, you can catch the accidents before they happen. In any case, definitely keep up the good attitude!

I don’t know if I could handle all of the extra work of laundry in the early months, since I am already tired as it is, and the house is a mess, so it’s disposable for now with my 2-month old. But one thing I know for sure is that as soon as my kid can walk, he is definitely going to be potty trained. I don’t really know if there is a good reason why a walking child can’t walk himself over to the potty (meant for his height, of course) to do his business. Is there one?

What a fabulous post! We do EC with our little girl, she is 9 months old and totally nappy free. We LOVE it and can’t understand why it’s not the norm. (ah yes those pampers rascals)
I too blog about our nappy free journey but I think you have totally managed to make it sound fairly ordinary and doable – where as I think I just make it sound totally crackers ha.
Nice one!
