About this listen

 Andrea Olson of Go Diaper Free explains elimination communication - the concept of pottying your baby, as early as birth - which is what people have done for all of human history and in today's world where there are no diapers. She makes it easy to integrate EC into your modern lifestyle as a new parent, demystifies how to know your baby needs to go, how to take them to the toilet instead of primarily relying on the diaper, and makes EC approachable, accessible, and fun, for all parents...whether part-time, with or without diapers, and in any region of the world. Contrary to popular marketing messages, diapers are tools, not toilets, and babies are ALL born "ready" to use the toilet. Learn how to connect with your baby on this very natural level with Andrea's expert guidance, and experience the freedom of a life without dependence upon diapers, a life without traumatic toilet training, a life where your baby gets a head start on developing motor skills, communication, and learning by prioritizing this age-appropriate skill (0-18 months). EC honors your baby's dignity and makes parenting THAT much easier! Stop changing blowouts...and learn how to listen to your baby's requests for good hygiene. Learn more at godiaperfree.com. (PS - Andrea also occasionally covers potty training, for those of you who find us after 18 months.)Andrea Olson Exercise & Fitness Fitness, Diet & Nutrition Hygiene & Healthy Living

  • #89 Constipation woes

    #89 Constipation woes
    Nov 25 2025

    This one is for those of you with babies/toddlers already eating solids. With solid foods comes, well, solid poops. Sometimes too solid. If you've noticed your LO hasn't pooped in a while or is really struggling with poops, there are a couple of reasons they might be constipated.

    Constipation can also cause other problems… Maybe they are refusing or avoiding the potty entirely. Maybe they're particularly irritable or clingy because of discomfort. Today we take a look at possible causes, as well as some things you can try to help ease that constipation!

  • #88 At what age can I potty train my child?

    #88 At what age can I potty train my child?
    Nov 11 2025

    OK this is probably the question I get the MOST often…

    Have you been told you have to wait until your child is "ready", or that this happens at like 3 years old? What if I told you I pottied all 6 of my kids literally from day 1?

    If you think that's crazy, listen to this episode, because I need to tell you about THE most important paradigm shift when it comes to toilet learning and how it affects our babies. And if you think you want to get your LO out of diapers, but you're not sure how/when/why, I got you.

    #87 Infant Potty Training in Indigenous Asia
    Nov 4 2025

    I get asked this question all the time: do people do "elimination communication" in indigenous communities, or is it altogether something different? I've hand-picked my fave stories from Laurie Boucke's encyclopedic book on infant potty training, and also an article by Continuum Concept author Jean Leidloff. This is a great episode to listen to while you're cleaning the house or doing yardwork! I hope you'll join me.
