It does. Potty train babies before they learn to go in nappies!!! They can do it!" The method behind Katherine's parenting method is called Elimination Communication, also known as EC, cuts out the need for a nappy by listening and responding to the cues of the baby. Ingrid Bauer coined the EC term in 2001 in her book, Diaper Free: The Gentle Wisdom of Natural Infant Hygiene.
However the principle is not new with civilisations around the world practising the method because nappies are not readily available or part of their culture. Instead of a soiled nappy, parents who practise EC pick up on signals such as straining or grunting and immediately get their child to the potty. There are a number of other factors that make up EC which include observing timing, picking up on signals, using parental intuition and creating cues.
