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

    You’ve probably heard of Montessori. Do you know that a lot of Montessori methods overlap with what I teach about EC? Today's episode is the first in a four-part series based on the Montessori approach to toilet learning, starting at birth. I’ll tell you all about what Mother Nature intended for your baby re: toilet learning. Let’s consider how we can return to our instincts and trust the natural laws of development.

    #68 Duped
    Jun 17 2025

    The average age of potty training has more than doubled in two generations. But! The blame doesn't belong to parents, so let go of any guilt (yes, I’m talkin’ to you). It belongs to long-term, strategic marketing campaigns from a 65 billion dollar industry that have slowly, over these generations, led to dramatic changes in the way we parent. If you’re sensitive to extremely passionate opinions, maybe skip this week’s episode… Otherwise, join me for an HONEST talk about how we’ve been duped for the sake of capitalism.
