i understand that people do this in places where they can not get diapers. people also chew their child's food and spit it directly from mouth to mouth instead of baby food. you do what you got to do. i would think removing odor from a dirt floor would be easier than getting it out of carpet. raising kids is hard enough why would i want to make it harder on myself? watching for your child to signal it has to potty before it can walk or even crawl sure dont sound like they have improved on how we did it. half the world dont wear a bra or even a shirt and it makes it easier to breast feed. i think i will stick with my over the shoulder boulder holder. i guess i am just a modern girl.
