DiaperFreeBaby and the Media
The variety of different pieces and vehicles used to get the word out is a good
reminder that it is important to explain EC in a variety of ways to a variety
of people. EC is adaptable to many different family situations, interests, and
lifestyles. What resonates with one family might not resonate with another.
Some cultures are finding out about EC for the first time, the ancient wis-
dom of this natural method of childcare having been long forgotten. For
other cultures EC is still a current methodology, though the term may be
new. To find out that Westerners are re-discovering this method validates it
to those who want to do things the modern way.
One of the most interesting aspects of all this media interest is all the
discussion and debate it has created. While the public is becoming more
accustomed to the idea of EC, there are still many individuals who struggle
with the way EC conflicts with deeply entrenched cultural beliefs and prac-
tices. DiaperFreeBaby seeks to support families whether they are interested
in practicing EC or just to trying make sense of it. We welcome the dialogue.
These discussions can be uncomfortable and heated, but they may also be
necessary, empowering, and cathartic as we find our collective way back to
natural responsive parenting.
