This concept advocates that diapers are not necessary in raising infants, and helps to tune parents in to their child's intuitive signals when they need to eliminate. A normal, healthy infant is indeed aware of their bodily function of elimination and can learn to communicate from infancy so parents can respond. By using diapers, we condition and thereby train our babies to go in them. Later the child must unlearn this training. This can be confusing and a traumatic experience for the child.
