![]() ![]() ![]() The basic idea is that babies do signal their need to go to the toilet and it is possible to pick up on their signal and meet their need to eliminate cleanly. Nappies have only been around for a hundred years or so and babies were successfully raised without them for thousands of years. Half the world’s population still raise their babies without nappies and they don’t all get peed and pooed on constantly. It’s about acknowledging their ability to communicate and meeting their toileting needs in the present moment. Whatever you call it the concept is the same! It’s about meeting the toileting needs of our tiny babies just as we meet their need for food, warmth, sleep and love.

No one in her family will tell Merci what's going on, so she’s left to her own worries, while also feeling all on her own at school. Things aren't going well at home, either: Merci’s grandfather and most trusted ally, Lolo, has been acting strangely lately - forgetting important things, falling from his bike, and getting angry over nothing. So when bossy Edna Santos sets her sights on the new boy who happens to be Merci’s school-assigned Sunshine Buddy, Merci becomes the target of Edna’s jealousy. They don’t have a big house or a fancy boat, and they have to do extra community service to make up for their free tuition.
