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! :)

    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967  
    • 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.
