Diaper-free babies' fad swells, despite critics -- they bill it as potty training, but it's not training. It's paying attention to the signals that your child gives you that he or she needs to pee or poo. You can help them relax and let them know they're in the proper place to pee/poo by using cuing sounds, but not all parents use cues. Likewise, not all babies signal or signal every time. It requires A LOT of attention to be paid to your little one, especially in this culture where this type of infant hygiene isn't standard. Most parents these days can't give that amount of attention, unfortunately.
A. gives us signals that he's working on something, but we're still trying to discern the difference between gas and pee and poo. Plus, he has lots of wet farts for hours in the morning, so for that period of the day, keeping him in cloth diapers and changing him immediately when he's wet or has pooed a little bit seems to be the best bet. He's definitely getting a bigger bladder and can go longer between pees, sometimes up to three hours. And sometimes he has cluster pees, where he'll pee several times in a short period. Even if we never catch a pee or a poo, I'm enjoying paying this much attention to him and making sure he doesn't sit in his own waste for hours at a time. I hate using the diaper covers because it's so easy to forget, and in forgetting, run the risk of diaper rash. Uck.
More U.S. women dying in childbirth *heavy sigh* They cite obesity and cesarians as potential culprits. Hmm... Crappy nutrition and shitty birth practices have something to do with this? Ya think?
