Someone came over and mopped up baby pee at the airport by us when we left, ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757658 Thu, 02 May 2013 16:50:18 +0000 anbanan15 757658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We EC'd with DS from 2 months on. He's been on a major potty pause lately, but used to only go on the potty and always have dry diapers. It has been a great experience! We are just stepping back and waiting for his cues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757627 Thu, 02 May 2013 16:31:10 +0000 Honeybee 757627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: Personally, we practiced EC with both of our kids and the only times we've not used the toilet/potty are in the rare occasion we're out somewhere a toilet is not available (e.g. camping, hiking, driving rural stretches of road, etc...). I'm sure some parents do allow their kids to go anywhere, but I think it's the exception for EC parents, not the rule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757616 Thu, 02 May 2013 16:25:48 +0000 HabesBabe 757616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: ditto-- although i don't know of any people IRL who have done it, but i know it's not for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757612 Thu, 02 May 2013 16:24:02 +0000 .twist. 757612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: I would tend to agree. It's illegal to go outside as an adult, so... </p> <p>I don't care if people do it, I just know it's definitely not for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757594 Thu, 02 May 2013 16:16:28 +0000 HabesBabe 757594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no problem with it if it's done in the privacy of your own home, or at the homes of those who are OK with it. But having your kid piss/crap on the street, sitting on a potty in a restaurant, holding them as they go on the grass at a park-- I'm sorry, but that's crossing the line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757221 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:32:47 +0000 lovehoneybee 757221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think there's anything lunatic about it, but I'm not sure it's for us (especially the part about letting them go outside). I'm going to start using th concept, ethough, sort of--E has taken to pooping in the tub (5x in the past two weeks). He never really given any "I'm going" signs, but I've noticed in the tub he'll sit very still and look down, grunt a little bit, and crawl away, and then there's poop. I never manage to catch him in time to pull him out, but I'm hoping I can start to get him over the toilet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757217 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:32:07 +0000 runsyellowlites 757217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: Totally agree! I mean a bowl?! I could see that in a place where they didn't have toilets but WHY wouldn't you just take the kid to the bathroom? *awkward* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757216 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:31:57 +0000 Bookish 757216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well... it's not something I would do, but then again, I highly doubt my day care would be pleased with this idea ;) It just seems like one of those things that only some parents even have the option of doing, so I have no business judging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757209 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:29:45 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 757209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycrz: @Honeybee: I would love it if one of you considered writing a guest blog about this for HB - I honestly know so little about it and am so curious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757193 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:26:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 757193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's definitely not for me. I can certainly see the appeal but I can't say I'd try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757171 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:21:14 +0000 loveisstrange 757171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this is, honestly, how we're going to potty train C. We're just going to diaperless.</p> <p>However, if a friend brought a bowl to my house and then let her baby go in it in a corner instead of just going to the bathroom.... I cant say that friend would be coming to my house for any more parties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757087 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:00:25 +0000 runsyellowlites 757087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really considered this but just haven't really gotten on board. P had terrible tummy issues until after 6 months so I honestly don't think I could've kept up! Hopefully with our next I can start this right away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757058 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:54:00 +0000 Honeybee 757058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, a lot of people think we're crazy too! Or they think we're super crunchy hippies (I mean, we're pretty moderately crunchy suburbanites, so...). :) It works for our family, though, and personally, I love EC. It's been a wonderful experience for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting#post-757033 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:50:18 +0000 babycrz 757033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/13.7/2013/05/02/179880234/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/blogs/13.7/2013/05/02/179880234/diaperless-babies-lunatic-or-positive-parenting</a></p> <p>Love the article! Many people think we're crazy.. even my husband wondered about my latest 'idea' - until he had to change less poopy diapers. He was totally on board then! </p>
