I know kids should potty train when they are ready, but what do you think is the earliest a baby can understand it? Like, you say lets go potty and they know what you're talking about. Or at what age should you at least give it a shot?

I did a little looking into elimination communication out of curiosity. From my understanding, it can start from birth and it is easiest to start before baby is 6 months old, because that is when the going potty cues tend to start disappearing if they aren't encouraged. I could be wrong though.

I think elimination communication training starts at 18 months. I usually train m kids at 3 years, though. :-) -
EC can start at birth. A lot of people say three months, too. That's when we started, and had great success. There's really no bad time to start, and it's never too late.
Although it's not really supposed to be thought of as potty training. That's just an added bonus ;)

I always started potty training at 2 but my youngest daughter started picking up on it before that, around 20 months or so. She would go a few times but we never were very strict about it. She is almost potty trained now, and she turned 2 in November. But I have two other kids who are PTed so it helped that she saw them do it and kind of picked up on it that way.
