The Go Diaper Free Podcast

Andrea Olson of Go Diaper Free explains elimination communication – the concept of pottying your baby, as early as birth – which is what people have done for all of human history and in today’s world where there are no diapers. She makes it easy to integrate EC into your modern lifestyle as a new parent, demystifies how to know your baby needs to go, how to take them to the toilet instead of primarily relying on the diaper, and makes EC approachable, accessible, and fun, for all parents…whether part-time, with or without diapers, and in any region of the world. Contrary to popular marketing messages, diapers are tools, not toilets, and babies are ALL born “ready” to use the toilet. Learn how to connect with your baby on this very natural level with Andrea’s expert guidance, and experience the freedom of a life without dependence upon diapers, a life without traumatic toilet training, a life where your baby gets a head start on developing motor skills, communication, and learning by prioritizing this age-appropriate skill (0-18 months). EC honors your baby’s dignity and makes parenting THAT much easier! Stop changing blowouts…and learn how to listen to your baby’s requests for good hygiene. Learn more at godiaperfree.com. (PS – Andrea also occasionally covers potty training, for those of you who find us after 18 months.)

#39: Moving from in-arms to a potty Dec 10, 2024

Show notes

If you started EC when your baby was teeny tiny, maybe you're starting to notice it's getting harder to hold them over the top hat potty or sink. Sore wrists and forearms– I've been there! Maybe your baby is just growing so much every day (too soon!). Maybe they're even starting to sit up and don't want to be held over a container. Are they ready to transition to a mini potty? Listen to this week's episode to find out how and when to make the transition. I also give some other options if they're not quite ready but you can't hold them at this stage.

Does your baby have a hard time relaxing over the potty to actually go? If you're struggling to make the pottytunities work, especially when baby becomes more mobile, this episode is for you.

#34 Sleep causing a potty pause Nov 04, 2024

Show notes

Maybe your LO is finally sleeping through the night, but absolutely refusing the potty in the daytime. When your baby moves into a new sleep routine (often around 6mo but can happen any time!) we often see EC routines take a hit. This is normal! Their little brains are learning so much! In this week's episode I answer a listener question about getting back on track with EC when "sleep training" affects "potty training".

#31 How to tell others about EC (and not seem crazy) Oct 15, 2024

Show notes

"Pottying a newborn is crazy." "Why don't you just use diapers??" "Is EC even safe?"

I've been there. I've gotten the weird looks, the skeptical questions, the feeling of being intensely judged for my personal parenting choice to do EC. And when it happens all you want to do is change the topic or run away. But fear not, because in this episode I'll walk you through what to say, what not to say, and my best tips for dealing with the haters.

What can you do instead of just watching them go and cleaning up after them? You won't want to miss this week's episode, especially if you agree that cleaning after a poopy diaper is NOT for you.
