CALLING ALL PARENTS

[Duchess]

A new parenting trend that sees babies as young as newborns go without diapers has been taking the U.S. by storm.

The method, known as 'elimination communication', or EC, requires infants to learn to signal when they need to use the bathroom - though the teaching method, it seems, can get quite messy.

Kaitlin McGreyes from Astoria, New York, who started practicing EC with her nine-month-old son Cesar as a newborn, says she saved money by buying fewer diapers, but she got 'peed and pooped on a lot.'

In a bid to keep things clean she said: 'At two weeks old I set up a little Tupperware container near our diaper-changing station.

I'm dumbstruck & I don't understand the appeal, AT ALL! Is this something any of you parents would consider?
