Great article! I had never heard of this. Too bad my babies are all grown up. I always let them go diaper free in the summers though...

@Anny: Merci ! :)

@CurlyMonkey: that's so funny! All that time and we never talked about it!
Yes, they grow so fast. I still can't believe that I have two preschoolers!

We started practicing part time EC when my son was 3 weeks old. I would hold him above a prefold diaper because he didn't like the sink or potty. Now he's 2 yo and more able to communicate his needs. They grow so fast! :)

Superbe histoire!! Nous avons beaucoup de choses à réapprendre, nous les occidentaux, sur les choses naturelles de la vie!!! Tout se fait tellement simplement lorsque l'on est en harmonie avec le corps et la nature.

Avoir un autre enfant, c'est sûr que j'essaierais! Je n'avait jamais entendu parler de cette approche. Bravo!!!!!

The mess was mostly on the floor (luckyly no carper). :)
I had to hold my son over the sink at the beginning but he was soon able to sit on the potty himself. Of course even when he was sitting, I was with him all the time talking or playing with him.
3 months is a great age to start.
I would advise you to get Laurie Boucke's book. It will give you all types of useful info.

our son is just about to be 3 months young and I would love to try this system. Do you know any videos/movies that explain and show that? I'll look up on youtube i guess.
So the mess that you had to clean was on carpet and in crib or you are referring to something else?
Another thing, your son was sitting by himself already or you had to hold him when on potty

Thank you for your comment! :)
I had to clean a lot of mess the first two weeks but once he understood what the potty was meant for it became easier. He never gave me any sign (or I wasn't focused enough to get them) so I got used to use my watch and it worked pretty well. As far as I know the earlier in the life of the baby you start, the easier it is. 5 months was at the edge of the

Awesome! I knew it's possible, just never came across anyone who did it :)
So how bad was the transition the first few weeks?
