Are you perhaps expecting your first child and have considered doing without conventional disposable diapers?
Now you have come across terms like going diaper-free, elimination communication or holding babies. You may not yet fully understand this practice, you may have many doubts, but you are still curious about what the topic of going diaper-free and holding babies is all about?
Then you are probably asking yourself the following questions, among others:
- How does going diaper-free work and how do I hold my baby properly?
- How do I start going diaper-free?
- How do I practice going diaper-free at night?
- Can I start going diaper-free immediately after giving birth?
Even if this sounds like a lot of science, we can reassure you right from the start. Being diaper-free and holding your baby in has a lot to do with intuition. And everyone has that in them. Of course, there are some things that make everyday diaper-free life easier and we'll introduce you to exactly those here:

Furnishing
In order to be able to practice diaper-free as easily as possible, you need practical equipment. There are now many different manufacturers of diaper-free clothing. Here you can find diaper-free clothing made from natural materials. The properties of wool make diaper-free use easy and requires little effort in everyday life.
Mata Origin initial equipment:- 3 baby size nappy covers (1 is for your baby, one is in the laundry, 1 is ready for you to change)
- 30 absorbent pads (XKKO BIRDEYE 50x50 size S are the best. But you can also cut some out of old towels or bed linen or use half muslin cloths.)
- 1-2 hold-up rompers day/night
- 1-2 cowboy weaning pants (from about 5 weeks, as the body tension is still so low at the beginning - weaning with the onesie is simply easier)
- 1 small Mata Origin potty for at home and on the go (from around 4-6 months I also recommend the Easypisi potty for at home and at night)
- 1 Mata Origin wool blanket (you will never want to wrap your baby in anything other than this wool blanket!! – it will accompany you while sleeping, carrying, breastfeeding, in the stroller, at night, on the go,...!)
- 1 miracle brush for brushing (cleaning) woolen clothing
