I watched a clip on Youtube last night about this and i was fascinated.

The one i watched - the lady had just started her daughter at 7.5 months and said it was going really well. She puts her daughter on the Potty through the day and over night she sits her over the toilet on one of those padded toilet seats so its not so cold. She also takes the padded seat to the shops with her.

Such a natural instict ! An amazing way to communicate.

She called it Elimination Communication or Natural Infant Hygiene.

Not sure if i could do it but i am impressed. Need to think a bit more about it.
My Mum said she used to hold me over the toilet at 4 months cause i wouldnt go in my nappy and always before i had a bath.
mmmm......*thinking* - if i tried it i reackon i would be a part timer
