And, although the time investment is a bit greater at the beginning, in the long term there is a time savings as well (less time spent changing diapers and taking out the garbage) ;-) Absolutely Stacey, we are really happy about how much we have saved ourselves in terms of money, and the environment in terms of waste and energy.

We have twin baby girls and I don't stop to add up the cost of diapers because it scares me to think about it...never mind the cost to the environment. Imagine the savings of going diaper free!!

Babies would definitely be comfortable without diapers. And it also saves you money! Thanks. Hi,

I agree with you about stopping... I can understand that you stopped while away from home... we had a similar experience when we went to Vienna recently... we didn't completely stop, but we used cloth diapers occasionally when we thought it would be too difficult to be diaper free. It made it harder to go back to being completely diaper free again. I think the psychology is different when you use a diaper... if you know you have that safety net, you are less likely to try to put them on the potty, even if you get the feeling that they have to go. Good to hear that things are back on track for you. It is going well for us now too as well! Hi Naomi, thanks for sharing your story, that is great to hear!

My husband and I started diaperless with our baby at three weeks of age. It was absolutely amazing! The only mistake we made was stopping. We went on a trip to visit family in Ireland and were gone for 7 weeks and had her in diapers the whole time. When we returned we had to start all over again which was harder than the first time round. I think the earlier you start the better. We are back on track and enjoying again;-) Great Article!

Thanks for your great comment! Always nice to hear from you. Yes, you can start potty training straight after birth and we have seen people doing it, but we started at about six month of age going diaper free. I agree, the first few months are stressful enough, trying to go diaper free during that time would add to the stress for sure. That is good to hear that you used cloth diapers for both your daughters and that they were potty trained under the age of 18 months. That is getting rarer and rarer. And yes, it really is shocking about Pampers funding the research of Dr. Brazleton, as it serves their purposes completely and really helps to boost their profits. I agree it is really worrying! Many greetings from Vancouver! Hi Anna! Thanks for your great comment! Always nice to hear from you.

I am surprised to read that you can do potty training straight after the birth. You need a deep belief that it works and for me personally it would be an add. stress in the first months. But the cloth diapers worked for both of my daughters very well and they were quite below the 18 months reaching the diaper free age. I cannot believe that Pampers have funded the research on “child-centered approach” - that's really bad. The need for extra large diapers brings only money for the company, soothing our conscience with the research results (and that is manipulation par excellence) and that the ads work and we follow like sheep....that's really worrying.

With disposables, there is no motivation for the child (or the parent) to potty train. thanks Treemama, and I agree with you!
