Why is diaper-free time essential for babies? In this modern and fast-paced world, we are all used to putting our babies in diapers 24x7 as it is less stressful and takes little time to change them. But while diapers may be quick, they come with their own set of issues. The biggest of these is the frequent occurrence of rashes on sensitive skin if it has been in contact with it for a long period of time, as most diapers are not very breathable. In the case of disposable diapers, an additional factor of the rashes is the harsh chemicals and plastic from which the disposables are made. Therefore, with time, more and more parents have realized the importance of diaper-free time for their babies. Diaper-free time is encouraged for two major reasons. As stated earlier, one of the main reasons is to prevent diaper rashes. Others adopt the gentle approach called Elimination Communication (EC), wherein babies are left diaper-free, and parents respond to their baby’s elimination cues by taking them to the potty. Here are some more reasons why parents should give their babies some diaper-free time: 1.Less diapers disposed of: A baby cutting down the use of diapers, only means a decrease in the diapers being disposed of. Thus doing the environment some good. 2.Early potty training: Those who practice diaper free time along with EC vouch that babies potty train earlier than those babies who are in a diaper all the time. Letting your kid go bare is often suggested while potty training children as it enables children to become more aware of their bodily functions and responds to it. 3.More alert to your baby’s needs: Experts believe that babies communicate their every need. Just like how babies express when they are hungry or sleepy, they will let you know when they want to pee or poop. The more we understand our baby’s needs, the better we react to them. Diaper-free time for babies may sound scary to many. But, once you think about how babies were potty trained before the modern diaper market took over, you will quickly realize that there is nothing strange about limiting the diaper time, in fact, that is a very natural approach. Even if you are not into full-time EC, giving your babies diaper-free time and allowing them some time on the Tidy Sleep dry sheet will help with diaper rashes and encourage early potty training.
