Advocates say it's better for the environment and is in practice in other areas of the world where they can't afford diapers...yadda yadda yadda. But really, aren't their laundry bills through the roof? What are they using to clean the inevitable accidents that occur? And, furthermore, don't these parents not have anything better to do than look for every grunt, grimace and scowl as a possible sign of having to go?
Last night, we let A have some bare-bottom time since she has a diaper-rash. The entire time she was pants-free, I was stressed that she was going to poop on her carpet, or even worse, me. I guess I'm just not mentally tough enough for this trend.

I couldn't get over the images of these 2 month olds on their potties! I liked the pediatrician's point that while it may work, wouldn't you rather spend time reading, singing, interacting with your child, rather than sitting with them on the potty?
I was thinking the same thing when I saw this story-DUMB and just plain weird. Do you know anyone in NOVA doing this?
I don't know of anyone who does this. But then again, I haven't talked to Melissa from New Mom's Group lately-- she's the only person I could picture doing this. And of course, we'd all be bad moms for not doing it, too!
