About Wonderbaby Designs

Wonderbaby Designs is the home of Poquito Pants™ baby underwear, the first training pants made in sizes to fit all babies, from tiny newborns to stocky toddlers. The name comes from the Spanish word poquito, meaning very little, tiny or a little bit. Poquito Pants™ were created as an alternative to diapers for families practicing Elimination Communication (EC), also called Infant Potty Training (IPT), Elimination Timing (ET), or Natural Infant Hygiene (NIH).

Work-at-Home mom Robin Hagerty has been sewing since the age of five. It began with a Mattel SewPerfect sewing machine, which her father repaired many times before it finally died (he says he doesn't think it was intended for industrial use!) and became a lifetime love of textiles and fashion. She studied fashion design in college while working for a major retail fabric store, cutting fabric and trims and learning everything she could about textiles. After college, she spent over 5 years working as an Assistant Designer for 2 children's clothing manufacturers in LosAngeles, and had the privilege of designing a few of the garments you may have seen in your local Sears, Kmart, Target or Kohl's.

While practicing EC with her new baby, she was dismayed to find that she could not find training pants, or any underpants, that were small enough for babies, so she decided to make her own. When she shared her idea with fellow ECers, the response was overwhelming and Poquito Pants™ were born.

After more than 6 years of serving the EC community, Wonderbaby Designs discontinued the Poquito Pants brand in 2007 but these famous pants are once again available for ECing families.
