Natural Infant Hygiene
Natural Infant Hygiene(NIH) is the natural way to care for your baby’s toileting needs from birth, and a growing number of parents are returning to this traditional method, often using nappies as a ‘back up’ rather than the only way to deal with body waste. Variations of this method are used successfully by parents internationally, and it is in fact “the most common approach to caring for a baby’s elimination needs in much of the world” (Bauer 2001 p.78). This fact file explores what Natural Infant Hygiene involves, and enables parents to consider this option. Click here for NIH fact file.
