I think elimination communication is usually done from birth, so possibly a bit late? I used to put my eldest on the toilet at that age before his bath and he would do the toilet simply due to fact he was in a sitting position. He liked it but didn't understand the association. He wasn't trained until 2 yrs old. Some nurseries are better than others at helping you train them. I took 2 weeks off work. I suggest enjoying your last month of maternity and save it for later.
We started with potty training when our son was 9 months old. But we said we only want to get him used to it. Sonout him on the potty in the morning and evening. We didn't expect anything but he is 11 months now and he definitely wee's in it and makes a poo. Nearly every time. We know it will take a long time until he will be potty trained properly but at least he is familiar with it.
My friend started potty training her daughter at 13 months. It seemed to involve her sitting on the potty a lot while watching cbeebies. She always did a wee or a poo while sitting there but she wasn't fully dry during the day until she was two and a half because she didn't really understand what she was doing. Personally I think it's quicker and easier when they're older because you can communicate with them better and they have a greater understanding. Good luck.
from experience, there is nothing to be gained by trying to train kids to do things before they are cognisant enough to have an idea of what they're doing...you're just wasting your time. Same goes for writing, etc and all the other academic things peeps try to get their kids to engage with when they're way too young...just enjoy the nappies whilst you can! :)

    • For Plusnet, I pay £31.99 for Full Fibre 500.  (the number is the line speed you have paid for) I have recently recontracted.  Always phone them up, and ask what deal they can do for me.  Usually get a decent reduction.  Sue, I would suggest you call them, especially if you are close to contract renewal.  Sometimes they will change deals mid-contract, as I have found in the past.      
    • The drivers generally have the same set area to cover every day, so they're fairly easy to follow - quite often on bike. They organise their drops to maximise how many they can do within a given time - there's actually software at the depot to do this before they set off - so they tend to follow the same route. Certain addresses are delivery hotspots, some have two or three drops a day from the various couriers. It all adds up doorstep deliveries being incredibly easy to target. I suspect Vladi's neighbour hasn't had their fake parcel nicked, not because of their security, but because the thief simply wouldn't have seen the driver stop there, so there's nothing to steal. The losses are factored in, driving prices up for everyone, and the drivers are treated abysmally. It's a dreadful business. It needs regulating.   Sorry, cross post with Angelina and Alec1
    • Amazon seem to do this more and more now.  They don't even ring the doorbell, just leave them lying on the door step, then you find out it's been delivered when you check tracking.  The official Amazon vans are frequently followed on their routes by thieves and take the opportunities freely given.
