This is the East Bay (San Francisco Bay Area) local group of the international organization, Diaper Free Baby. We offer a support environment for parents and parents-to-be interested in:

• Elimination Communication (EC)
• Natural Infant Hygiene (NIH)
• Learning about how keeping your baby diaper free supports attachment parenting

You don't have to be practicing to be part of this group. Just interested, open minded and willing to come to the gatherings to learn more and meet others who practice EC. For lively conversation and questions between meetings, please join the international EC community YahooGroup.

"While good observation is the source of new insight and creativity, it is also the foundation for renewing the most basic abilities that we appear to be losing as fast as technology finds substitutes. For example, observation of a baby's pattern of bowel movements and early action to hold them over the potty at the right time can lead to easy and early toilet training, saving endless work, water and energy."
--David Holmgren _Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability_

It is astounding that a thousand generations of knowledge and experience can be wiped out by a single generation of ignorance.
