Most babies will go through 2,000 to 3,000 diapers before they are potty trained. Some parents in Germany are choosing to largely do away diapers. And somehow they still manage to keep their furniture clean.

Every morning when 15-month-old Alice wakes up, her mother, 30-year-old Freya Donner, routinely holds her over the bathroom toilet. Alice has been trained to respond to the verbal cue "loo loo." Whether over a training potty, or a bush when they're away from home, Alice delivers on cue.

Donner and her husband are raising their first child diaper free - along with a growing number of parents across Europe, from Finland to Italy.

No diapers, no diaper powder and no diaper bag: "What's wrong with this picture?" you're probably asking.
