Frequently Asked Questions Q: Does the cleaner nappies method harm my baby? A: Not as far as we can tell. Q: How young can I start using the cleaner nappies method? A: From a few days old Q: I have a bad back and can't stand like you show in the video. Can I still use this technique? A. You could try using a height adjustable chair (an  office chair on casters is good). Set the chair in front of the toilet and sit towards the front.  Hold your baby between your legs in the same position as in the video. Alternatively, sit the baby over a potty and support them if they are unable to sit independently. If you have previously been using the technique in the video, have the baby face away from you and lean over, so that your face is upside down as they are already used to. Q: My baby used to be good at going on the toilet, but now she is more interested in chewing her toes. What shall I do? A: Keep going to the toilet with your baby about every 3 hours and in time she should get back into  "performing" again. Q: You say that baby shouldn't be hungry when put over the toilet. I feed my baby just before, but then he is sick when I hold him in position. What should I do? A: Try to keep the legs apart when you hold the baby, so that they are not pressing over the stomach. A little bit of vomit is not a problem. Put a bib on the baby and the vomit will go into the toilet and not on the clothes. Q: When are the most common times a baby will stop "performing" on the toilet? A: 1) When baby is unwell: in this situation, use your judgement whether baby is strong enough for you to continue to hold them over the toilet to keep the routine going. If not, wait until baby is better and start again.     2) When baby has discovered something new and exciting, e.g. their feet.     3) When there are distractions, e.g. new surroundings if you are in a new place, or a sibling playing nearby or an attractive necklace round your neck. Try to keep distractions to a minimum so that baby can concentrate on the job.   Home | How it works | Laos experience | Videos | Downloads | FAQ | Book Shop | More info Copyright  © 2009 Lucy Best - Cleaner Nappies.
