It seems to me that all this is based on is the fact that the parents are idiots. They want whats best for THEM not the baby. Diaper rash is a result of letting a baby sit around in a dirty diaper.
It also sounds as though they are SERIOUSLY trying to RUSH their child to grow up! Diaper changing isn't that big a deal. These people are willing to risk their childs future mental health because they hate changing diapers?! gimme a break!
Naah! just spread lots of newspapers around.
