A Great Elimination Communication Article

I want to share this great article about raising your baby without diapers by Dr. Sarah J. Buckley. I liked the whole article, but this paragraph stood out to me.

This is not a method of toilet training, as some have misinterpreted. Rather it is an enlightening process for baby and mother (and possibly other carers) that makes conventional toilet training unnecessary, because our babies have never learned to ignore their body's signals. Neither is EC a way of making babies control their bladder or bowels prematurely, coercively, or traumatically. It does, however, dissolve the illusion that children have no control over elimination until the toddler years.
