How 'Elimination Communication' can reduce nappy use
|
Nappies are a normal part of life with a baby, but an approach called Elimination Communication is helping a small, but growing number of parents to read their babies' toileting cues and reduce their reliance on nappies.
This is a positive thing for the planet, because according to the CSIRO, Australians throw away one billion used disposable nappies each year, and every one of these will take a frightening 300 years to decompose.
As well as easing pressure on the planet, Elimination Communication (or EC) has several other upsides for families, so let's see what it involves and why some parents are embracing EC in Australia and overseas.
