Growing 'Diaper-Free' Movement Also Draws Doubt

Here's part of the story: "Dominic, 13 months, is a product of a growing "diaper-free" movement founded on the belief that babies are born with an instinctive ability to signal when they have to answer nature's call. Parents who practice the so-called "elimination communication" learn to read their children's body language to help them recognize the need, and they mimic the sounds that a child associates with the bathroom."

In my world, the body language is called a grunt or a wince, and you better hope like hell your baby has a diaper on their bo-bo or you're in for a nasty mess to clean up.

Here's another quote from the mother of this diaper-free kid: "The nice part is ... really getting the majority of poops in the toilet versus having to clean that," Klatt said. "I don't have to wake up at night and change diapers or have wet sheets anywhere. That's really nice."

She definitely doesn't have to wake up at night to change dirty diapers. Instead she wakes up to a shoo-wee filled bed. I wonder how many times she's had to scrape crap off the walls, floor, and ceiling in the middle of the night.

Another quote from this tree-huggin' mom: "And being able to travel without a big, bloated diaper bag is terrific," she said.

Is it terrific that she gets to travel in a car that smells like the zoo? She's probably grown accustomed to the smell and doesn't realize that she smells like walking shoo-wee 24/7. She might not have to carry a bloated diaper bag ever, but how does it feel when your kid shits himself at the local "green grocer"?

To quote an ex-boyfriend: Some got some and some got none. This lady, my friends, has none.
