The Diaper-Free Baby: The Natural Toilet Training Alternative
by Christine Gross-Loh
My Rating: 4 1/2 stars
"Believe it or not, your child was born not wanting to go the bathroom in a diaper." After reading this book and putting the suggestions into practice, I believe it.
This is what I loved about the book:
*the author has a PhD from Harvard
*the cover is cute and professional (as opposed to Infant Potty Training)
*it is comprehensive and easy to read
Gross-Loh talks about her own journey to infant potty training and some of her challenges in using this method. She includes dozen of quotes from other parents as well.
"Diaper-free" is a scary phrase; Gross-Loh explains at the beginning of the book that it doesn't mean your baby must be without anything to catch her eliminations. It means "freedom from an exclusive reliance on diapers." I can get on board with that.
The book is very helpful, including advice on starting at different ages, charts of "frequent miss situations," signs to look for, and common questions.
A compelling read.
