In recent years, the age at which nappies are removed has risen considerably, thanks to disposable nappies, as comfortable as they are not very biodegradable, and the fears of parents, pediatricians and educators not to cause anxiety to the child.

Mothers and fathers are then bewildered: on the one hand we would like the baby to be autonomous from the diaper as soon as possible, on the other we fear the consequences of too early education in cleaning.

What to do? This guide illustrates which is the simplest and most pleasant way to remove the diaper, without forcing and conflicts, bearing in mind that there are no preconceived recipes, but a lot depends on the temperament of the child and the real availability of the parent.

It dispels the most common myths about potty training, bedwetting, and the starting age of the "spannolinazione" process.

It takes into consideration the various existing approaches, in the light of the latest scientific research and in the awareness of how this aspect is a milestone in the physical and psychological maturation of the child and one of the first steps towards achieving autonomy, from an educational, ethical perspective. and ecological.

The volume is enriched with the testimonies of many mothers and fathers who wanted to share their experiences.
