Reddit reviews Infant Potty Training: A Gentle and Primeval Method Adapted to Modern Living

Try this book it outlines infant potty training/elimination communication and you can probably get it from your local library.

> There is definitely something off with the numbers with that much discrepancy

A lot of the world uses variations on the elimination communication method, too, though -- and no (or far fewer) disposable diapers, with their stay-dry feel (so the kid never learns to associate "Hey, I peed" with "yuck, I feel wet", etc).

This book has some interesting info on other cultures' potty-training methods, and also discusses how it can be adapted for modern/American/first-world life, too.

We started getting my kid used to the idea of what potties are for at, like, eight weeks old, when we were consistently getting 100% poops in the potty and a lot of pee, too. :P He's now just shy of 2.5 and has JUST finally completely graduated potty training (haven't changed a diaper since May, and no accidents of any sort since mid-June!). We also took things super slowly; I think we could've gone faster, but I was lazy. So, meh. Happy enough with it as it is.

I also love the idea.... it seems that the most recommended book is Infant Potty Training.

Check out Diaper Free Baby ($11 at Amazon). It's a nice, approachable guide, and discusses techniques for full-time and part-time "elimination communication".

A more thorough book is the classic Infant Potty Training ($16.50 at Amazon).

I recommend the simple, inexpensive Baby Bjorn potty. It's easy to clean, travels well, is small enough for an infant but scales just fine to a two-year-old. We have two; one in the bedroom, one in the living room. (The idea being to make it really easy to do the right thing -- the same reason McDonalds makes sure there's always a trash can within a dozen steps of any table.)

Good luck!
