Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:47:45 +0000 http://www.kidglue.com/?p=10394#comment-2002 Hi Akela, It is great to see some discussion of this topic, though I think of attachment parenting (merely a term coined by Dr Sears to describe the parenting style of many more natural cultures) as the traditional parenting style! You mention Elimination Communication, which is obviously new to you - thanks for not bagging the concept outright! It is a fun activity to fold into one's daily activities with baby, and yes, they do wear diapers between potty visits, for as long as you wish them to, or they need to. Also called 'EC' or "Infant Potty Training", it is a cumbersome term to be sure for a practice as old as mothers and still the norm in many countries on earth, and not (as I can see replies coming) just as they can't afford dispopsable diapers. It was just what is done. Diapers make it easier for us to practice EC in our modernised countries, with our carpets and busy lives - and using reusable cloth diapers combined with EC means our environmental footprint and spending is reduced as well. Charndra P.S May I post a link to my site on EC? It has an online guide helping moms re-discover their confidence in this ancient technique, and a lot of my members (well over 800) DO work outside the home - and so are part-time diaper free!
