Minimizing cloth diapers: “Potty training” from birth

Many parents are choosing to practice elimination communication with their baby from birth to minimize the number of cloth diapers to wash and the challenges of potty training a willful toddler. The baby feels better and sleeps longer. Knowing when to hold the baby over a toilet receptacle has to do with simple logic, observation and intuition. The humanure could be composted. This is what parents have done throughout most of human history.  Angela Verbrugge
