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

    Mar 24 2026

    You know the look: they get quiet, they disappear, maybe they hide behind the couch. And by the time you realize what's happening… it's too late.

    If you've got a stealth pooper on your hands, this episode is for you. I'm sharing 4 simple ways to handle the hiding, the sneaking, and the "don't look at me while I poop" phase — without turning it into a battle.

  • #104 EC and...toothbrushing?
    Mar 10 2026

    Why do we treat potty learning like a huge event, but toothbrushing like no big deal? We don't bribe for brushing, we don't panic over missed spots. We just… keep doing it.

    In this episode I'm sharing why EC (and potty training) works better when we treat it like a normal daily habit — not a high-stakes milestone.
