I never used a towel on the floor. I had a dedicated changing table with everything to hand to save my back. But they aren't essential,obviously.
Lesley, I had two in nappies at the same time and you do get it down to a fine art very quickly.
Some parents don't even use nappies. I have heard about EC and although I would never be brave enough to try it with my children the results are staggering. Many kids are potty trained by their first birthday!!
I haven't a clue either but it doesn't sound very nice!

I agree babies/children are as expensive or as cheap as you would like them to be.
I do think that good quality clothes ie GAP, NEXT and MONSOON are an investment, I buy all these clothes in the sales and outlet shops look after them then get them on e-bay and I get my money back each and everytime.
ASDA and TESCO offer great quality clothes at fab prices but find I dont get that much for them on e-bay.
PRIMARK well I dont know how people survived without Primark for kids basics, socks, wangers and vests etc.
The "EC" bit I think rainbow is talking about parents that potty train from birth by using the SSSSSSSSSS sound when baby pees and trying to guess when baby is going to pee and poo. It is done before baby is 6mths old and they are often free of accidents by the time they are 2.Not something I can follow as I believe a baby should fit in around the family and not the other way round and I had to go back to work on both occassions when they hit 10mths old and would of struggled to find child care that would of supported this method.
Right that is enough waffle form me!! any news Lulu??

Back to square one but what dunt kill you makes you stronger!!
Dee, I quite agree. I could not put a child through that, they should be allowed to develop naturally, not be made to do something to make the parents life easier which this seems to be doing.
My daughter was toilet trained shortly after she was 2, so I was quite happy.
What do you do at night? Do you get up every so often to lift the child and take them to the loo?
Stupid I call it!

In my opinion it's not natural either, let them be babies, I've had all 5 of my grandchildren here tonight and loved every minute of it....they're so special.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

We've had a nice quiet evening, just the two of us.

My daughter went to a childminder from the age of 3 months as I couldn't afford not to go back to work, she was allowed to develop naturally.
I could not force a child to do anything too early.
