Diaper-free (our experience)
What if diapers are more of an evil — something someone, as always, profits from? A child gets used to relieving themselves into a diaper, and then we end up having to break their psyche to teach them to use the potty. What if we could instead learn to recognize our baby’s signals about needing…
Pacifier
