Parents are urged to get in tune with their infant's body signals and hold babies over toilets, buckets and shrubbery or any other convenient receptacle when nature calls

Since when is a "shrubbery" a "receptacle"?!? When the dog uses the shade of the shrubbery around my house, the remnants get scooped and tossed far away from the house and the five human noses that live there!

"How I longed for a simple, dirt-floored, baby-friendly hut like that of a Yequana family," he wrote.

Well, who doesn't? Although huts seem rather to reinforce the "illusion of dominion over nature." One would think that if Mother Gaia wants us to have shelter, she will provide us with a nice, stone-floored cave, or at least a ditch or gully.

Foisting this is forced birth control on a culture(talk about a deterrent to childbearing!) No sane mother in the US would attempt this.

[plinker's2sense]

Greenies must experience the "exploding baby" to know that diaperless will never work.

[reg45]

Next, they will ask us to teach babies to use litter boxes just like kittens do!

[Huber]

The good news is that there is no way that diaperless kids will be allowed in day care. Who knows, this might lead to more stay at home moms!

[reg45]

The E-whacks (environmentalist wackos) would like it best if we had no babies at all.

[mtbopfuyn]

Not adding to the over population of the world would be even more Earth friendly.

He wants to live in a dirt-floor hut? What's stopping him? Here's a map to get him into the 'house hunting' mode.

Environmental whackos are the offspring of parents who advocate dropping babies on their heads daily for the first two years of life.

[Rightly Biased]

Other than the baby poo that will get EVERYWHERE its a great idea.

I hate enviromental wackos.This makes me want to drill for oil on algores forehead.

[DustyMoment]

No kidding, these idiots need a solid understanding of history to understand that unsanitary conditions such as they are promoting are the cause of various epidemics that swept Europe in the Middle Ages. Yellow fever, and bubonic plague are among the wonderful diseases we can expect to see make a strong resurgence if anyone actually does this.

These enviro-nazis are in serious need of a brain transplant. Earthtone Al Gore's endorsement of this nonsense is proof of how deranged they all are.

"When you think about it, there have been millions of years of human beings and only a few thousand years with any references to diapers," she added.

And they call themselves progressives. LOL.

[Maigrey]

So, lemme get this straight...

Babies without diapers. So what are we supposed to do when they have their act of nature at midnight? They don't advocate washing machines (detergents) and no plastic diapers (enviro-nazism) and no cloth diapers. Maybe they mean throwing away all clothing after it is soiled?

I'm sooooo confused.

Once when I was visiting Ecuador I happened to see a small child running around his yard. His puppy following him, they were cute even though the child had only a shirt on.
Then he stopped and squatted down, defecated. the puppy quickly cleaned up the mess.
Is that what these people want to see in American front yards too ?

[cynicom]

Dont bring your diaper free kid around my house.

[johnb838]

I'm reminded of a story a friend told of being at her sisters house and her little nephew comes running up and "Uh-Oh Mommy, Turd on the floor!"

Noelle finally chose to go diaperless and looked to traditional cultures for inspiration. "How I longed for a simple, dirt-floored, baby-friendly hut like that of a Yequana family," he wrote.

This is showing their ignorance.

Dirt floor? In Africa and India, the floors are actually not dirt, but a mixture of cowdung and clay, that when dry is as shiny as linoleum.

and although children in some cultures walk around naked, they usually are carried on the backs or sides of moms, cousins, or siblings

American Indian children carried on boards had a small hole over the front so mom could place moss and change it when it got wet.

African kids are carried on mom's back with a Mbirecki, and they also place moss there. They now use cloth diapers.

I too have read anecdotal stories about moms holding two year olds out after feeding and the kids go on command, but haven't seen this in third world countries.

Wonder if they are mixing up toddlers with infants? Toddlers in China used to have "open pants" in case of accidents. They are now being shunned due to hygiene.

Finally, hookworm kills millions of children. Hookworm comes from lack of toilets, where feces are left on the ground, and where eggs are eaten or larvae dig thru the skin of bare feet. A major cause public health initiative to prevent this is toilets and diapers and eliminate bare feet. So we "save" the earth and kill kids...

[InvisibleChurch]

what's the big deal? you don't need diapers if you slaughter the unborn... the left/environmentalists ought to be ecstatic that they've saved the US from 35,000,000+ potential diaper-wearers

Sounds gross. Read later
