Have you ever wondered what a baby on a potty might look like? I doubt it, but I recently took some pics of Ryden on his potty, and they turned out so dang cute that I felt I had to share. I use an app on my iphone (hipstamatic camera) and that is why the pics have a different look. Ryden is almost 7 months (next week), and we have not had a poopy miss (in his diaper) in MONTHS! Yesterday, Eric even caught Ryden's poop in his potty . We are still working on his pees, but until I start offering the potty more consistently, I think it will take a little while longer to catch most of them. We do catch probably about a quarter of his pees, though... so, that is pretty good. Less messy diapers= less laundry and happier-drier baby!!!
Ryden has also never had a diaper rash *knock on wood* and I have never used diaper cream on him- EVER! I have never even purchased Destin or A&D (or whatever diaper creams are out there).
I attribute this to the use of cloth diapers and catching most of his poops on his potty which reduces the chances of getting diaper rashes to begin with.
If any of you ever have any questions about Elimination Communication or cloth diapers, just let me know and I will fill you in with all the details. People always think that it sounds so complicated, but it really isn't. If you know me, you know that I am not one of those people that loves to be busy. I am fairly LAZY, so, if I can do it... anyone can. Also, I only EC part-time. So, it's not something you have to commit yourself to full-time.
Anyhoo, here are the cutest pics ever!!
Love,
Us
