Nappy Free!
At these times of increased awareness of fuel, energy, water and other human consumption issues, parents are often looking for low impact alternatives to conventional disposable nappies/diapers. Modern cloth nappies and Eco-disposables are great, but potentially carry quite an ecological footprint in both their production and the long journey to a babies bottom.
Nappy Free! is a method of baby hygiene also called “elimination communication” (a phrase first coined by Ingrid Bauer, author of Diaper Free, Natural Infant Hygiene) which can reduce or remove the need for nappies (cloth or disposable, and all the potential allergens and environmental costs they carry), depending on how astutely the babies Carers practice it… Nappy free, diaper free, elimination communication, natural infant hygiene, toilet timing… all names for a system of toileting so ancient that it precedes names altogether! This practice from our global collective past is perfectly adaptable to the modern world and is still in use in many countries today. This very natural, gentle, environmentally friendly way of dealing with your babies waste is making a comeback in Western society as we begin to take responsibility for the damage we have done to the environment.
The Nappy Free way is EASY, GENTLE and SUPPORTIVE of other attachment parenting philosophies. It is FUN, HEALTHY & makes HAPPY BABIES…
