Most new parents think of diapers as a smelly, expensive, and unavoidable necessity. The good news is that it’s possible—even practical—to raise your kids without diapers. In <i>Diaper Free!</i>, Ingrid Bauer shows how you can:<br /><br />* Save thousands of dollars<br />* Reduce landfill waste (single-use disposable diapers are responsible for one third of the non- biodegradable waste in landfills)<br />* Avoid diaper rash<br />* Use the “Four Tools for Diaper Freedom” to enhance your relationship with your baby and deepen communication. <br /><br />Based on extensive research, case studies, and the author’s own experience, <i>Diaper Free!</i> is a warm and helpful companion at every stage, from the first magical days of your baby’s life, to complete toilet independence. BACKCOVER: “The true solution to the diaper dilemma. . . . Packed with information, examples, and support. A valuable addition to the library of any pregnant or new mother.”<br />—Teresa Pitman, La Leche League International
