  Welcome!
I'm
so excited that this day has finally come! It's been a while now in the
planning, writing, developing and testing to be ready for visitors. It has
certainly been more complicated than I thought it would be - and has been
a learning curve for sure.
When
Maven turned two, (about one week before), I began work on the "Part time
Nappy
Free" online course. I have planned the materials to help give people
interested in EC a place to visit now and again to pick up a tip in
order to build their confidence in EC - to gain a clear sense of how adaptable EC is to their
lifestyle - as a way simply to cut their use of nappies down to a
manageable level as they develop the skills and confidence in
communicating with their baby through elimination communication - 1 less
nappy at a time!
My hope is that it will help people feel more relaxed with dabbling in a
bit of EC, less intimidated by the concept of being part time nappy
free...
Part Time Nappy Free is a 'walled garden' membership site - this means there
is nice pretty stuff inside - for members only! The first level of membership is
free for anyone to join, and "The 7 Secrets to Developing Your Nappy Free
Confidence" will provide you with helpful, useful and thought provoking
information. I've had a great time putting them together to help people get
started with their EC'ing journey with the right mind-set for success. I
believe building and developing your inner confidence is key to practicing EC,
and is a reason that plenty of people don't even get started - they are unsure
about what EC actually means in practice, and can feel intimidated get
overwhelmed.
Reassuring people that YES! EC is something you ease into, that nappies or
diapers are integral to your learning and peace of mind, is central to the theme
of the "Secrets", which is that any regular person can practice EC with their
baby - it is a great option that is flexible, adaptable, easier on the budget,
the environment and best of all, allows a wonderful enhancement to the
communication between us and our babies.
The
second level of membership is an online course, called "Part Time Nappy
Free!". It is a unique self-paced learning program, which will guide you on
your journey with your baby, providing information, motivation, strategies that
are simple, all online in a format that will instantly update as I make
improvements to the guide. Best of all, as it is digital, it is great for the
environment!
I'd like to thank:
- Chris for all his help developing the 'techy' website stuff and for listening
to me ramble on about my various ideas for the site, finding solutions for
issues that popped up and for for supporting me to continue...
- Belinda for her enthusiasm in listening to me going on and on about "It's
getting closer!" and all the bouncing of ideas, encouraging me with it all...
- Annie for her helpful insights into the 'Secrets' as I have developed them,
and for proof reading them for me - still more to go there of course!
- All the Mums who have shared insights and stories - they have
been so exciting to read, and have given me lots of motivation to develop new
directions...
- The early testers and checkers and early birds who helped us to pick over and
devour the 'bugs' to where we are now - ready to have anyone visit...
- Maven and Jett - Maven for being the inspiration behind Tribal Baby, and Jett
for being the current inspiration for all the exciting fine-tunings of the ideas
within that will (I hope!) help many of you to discover the joys of EC as you
start (or continue on) the path to reducing your reliance on nappies with your
babies!
Now, I'd like to introduce Sam, owner of 'Sydney Attachment Parenting'
forum, and creator of the 'Earth Sling' (I have one!) to officially open the
site...

This comprehensive website
is the complete package and is the first Australian website of it's
kind. It contains all the information any parent needs to practice being
Part Time Nappy Free. I love the approach Charndra has taken as it makes
Elimination Communication accessible to all parents even if they haven't
been doing it from the birth of their baby or perhaps don't want to
commit to full-time EC.
The sections are very clear and explain everything in a straight forward
manner. All aspects of being nappy free are covered and there are words
of encouragement throughout with handy tips for newbies. Any parent
using this website as a guide, even one with no prior experience, will
feel supported every step of the way.
The checklists make it very easy for a parent new to being nappy free to
get an understanding of the communication babies naturally use to
indicate their elimination needs. This communication is often missed by
modern parents who are unaware that babies are even capable of
communicating in this way. Understanding the ways their baby is already
communicating is sure to give them confidence to give 'being part time
nappy free' a go.
While this website lays out all the practicalities, the fun parts aren't
forgotten with the enhanced communication with baby being emphasised.
It's important for parents to know that it's not all hard work but an
enjoyable exercise and nothing to be stressed about or afraid of and I
think this website portrays just that.
As a mother who practiced being part time nappy free with my own babies
many years ago I realise just how rewarding and worthwhile it is. At
that time I was fortunate to have a good friend guide me through so I
also learned that good support is a key ingredient. With this website
finally that support is available to all parents.
I'm very pleased to
announce the official launch of the Part Time Nappy Free website!

 Have fun
connecting,
Charndra P.S I hope you enjoy your visit today,
you'll be one of my first visitors! EC is a niche interest for sure, yet I can't
help wonder - what if every baby used just one less nappy a day? What an impact
that could have on their bums, their Mums and our environment - wouldn't that be
wonderful?
