Sweet Cheeks is 10 and a half months old now, and we can proudly say that we haven’t used a single diaper since those fateful days four months ago. So, “screw that” we said, and decided to go without diapers. It was as if she was holding it in, waiting for the diaper to come off, because she didn’t want to be in a soiled diaper. We also noticed that she went number 2 most often when we took her diaper off. We had been using cloth diapers with her, but we noticed that we could quite easily tell when she had to go number 2. We decided (or rather, my wife decided and I followed along), to go diaper free with our daughter, Sweet Cheeks, when she was about six months old. The belief that babies need diapers is more of a product of our Western “on the go” lifestyle and some clever diaper company marketing strategies that will have you thinking that you need to keep your kid in diapers until the age of four. In the Western world, we have been programmed to believe that babies need diapers, but in many parts of the world, going diaper free is the norm. Going diaper free with your baby is not as hard or bizarre as you might think.
