What does “diaper-free” mean?

Being diaper-free doesn't necessarily mean that the baby doesn't wear diapers at all. Rather, it's about mindful communication between parent and child. Even newborns send signals when they need to go – this is precisely where the diaper-free concept comes in. Parents learn to recognize these signs and stop the baby in time.

Advantages of going diaper-free:

• Early potty training: Many children become dry much earlier than with traditional diaper training.
  
• Strengthening the bond: Going diaper-free promotes intensive communication and strengthens the trust between parents and child.
  
• Less skin irritation: Less diaper time also means less contact with urine and stool – good for baby’s skin!
  
• Sustainability : Fewer or no diapers = less waste and less strain on the environment and your wallet.

Becoming potty trained – The natural process

Becoming potty trained is not a race, but an individual development process. Every child becomes potty trained at their own pace. A loving, non-pressure approach is important. Whether with or without diapers, with patience, trust, and appropriate encouragement, children will find their way.

Tips for parents:

• Observe instead of controlling: Pay attention to your child’s body signals.
  
• Create rituals: Regular potty training or potty times help the child develop routines.
  
• Praise, don’t punish: Positive feedback motivates – pressure and criticism are counterproductive.
  
• Be patient: setbacks are normal and part of life.
