I'm reviewing the concept more than the book itself as to be honest, I could have guessed the method myself (cueing with sounds and sign language, using a potty etc). I am looking forward to seeing how we go, the little one is already loving wearing her diaper less often ( ) The premise here is that even young babies have more control than they're given credit for; they instinctively want to avoid sitting in their own soil and essentially have to be trained to use diapers, then trained not to use them. The goal of EC (Elimination Communication) is to help the child keep that awareness. It is not about "training"'; indeed, the author suggests that you not praise your child for using the toilet as the idea isn't for the child to please you, but to be empowered and act for himself. Though I have no interest in actually going diaper-free, I thought the ideas were intriguing. The book does suggest several different "tracks"--ways to practice part-time or just occasionally. I was put off, though, when the second chapter was about gear for EC; there was not enough emphasis on minimalist options. On the whole, though, I found the book intriguing and enjoyed the stories about real babies. Out of all the EC books out there, I chose to read this one because it sounded like a more laidback approach. It was, and I'm glad for that. My main hesitation to EC was the idea that I'd have to watch my daughter like a hawk 24-7 to catch every elimination. So it was refreshing to read about examples of parents who successfully practice EC only some of the time. The book is organized by age of the child, so there's some repetition, but I didn't mind the reinforcement of the concepts. You could read just the part that applies to your child's age, which is a nice option to have. If you're interested in EC, this book is a good place to start. This is the book I was looking for. Just as the [author: Ingrid Bauer} book made me feel defensive and judged, this book was like a reassuring hug. The introduction alone was inclusive and comforting--it doesn't matter if you work outside of the house, co-sleep, breastfeed, babywear, or some combination thereof, the book says you can do EC full-time or part-time. This isn't potty training, this is learning your kid's signals and responding to them the way you would for food or sleep. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Imagine infants free from painful diaper rash, new parenthood without thousands of dollars wasted in diapering costs, toilet training that is natural and noncoercive, and, most important, happier babies and parents As Christine Gross-Loh reveals in her progressive, enlightening book, all this is possible and more. Infants are born with the ability to communicate their need to "go," just as they communicate hunger or sleepiness. Gross-Loh, a mother of two children who were diaper-free at eighteen and fifteen months, uses the tenets of "elimination communication," or EC, to teach parents how to identify and respond to their baby or toddler's natural cues. Unlike the all-or-nothing approach of some parenting books, The Diaper-Free Baby addresses three categories of parents: full-time, part-time, and occasional EC'ers. Parents can practice EC as much or as little as fits their family and lifestyle. A support group within a book, The Diaper-Free Baby also includes inspiring testimonials throughout every chapter. Parents who have successfully practiced EC identify common struggles, share experiences and problem-solving tips, and provide encouragement for those new to the technique. Their motivational stories together with Gross-Loh's practical advice will appeal to all parents interested in a fresh alternative to traditional toilet training.
