Newborn Baby in China

"The joys of motherhood are never fully experienced until the children are in bed" - Anonymous

Chinese parents are the true originators of the diaper-free baby trend. Usually, baby during their few weeks old still need their parents help because they are still small and not even capable enough to clean up themselves. Different in China, when the babies are just a few weeks old, mother hold their baby above the commode and teach them to do their “business” in command.

Commode - a piece of plastic containing concealed chamber pot where the babies do their "business" 

Sensitive to tiny bladders and the need to rush when its go time, Chinese mothers dress their babies in split-crotch pants, even when on the go. Pee-pee emergencies can be handled swiftly as the mother will holds their child in a squatting position with no need for unbuttoning, unzipping, or even un-tucking.

The split allows the pants to be opened when your baby is held in arms with their legs opened or when toddler squats or sits on potty 

I did agree with this method that Chinese moms practice from time to time. This is because, it teaches the baby independence to use the potty without needing to remove their clothing.
