I have a 10 month old, and I have been researching Elimination Communication(infant potty training). I know we are late starters, but I was wondering if there was anybody who has done this. What are your stories and suggestions or opinions?

We do some very low-key EC with our 6 month old. We offer the potty at most diaper changes, and go diaperless when it’s convenient.
Just remember it’s not all or nothing! Any amount of EC that works for your family has benefits. Go for it!

The ladies at mothering.com are very helpful and can give you a lot of good information. There is also a support thread for late starters.

You are very late starters. I am wondering though, what inspires you to try this NOW? Is it that you think you can get out of having to clean diapers or are you in a hurry for daycare or what the reasoning is. It’s not so much potty training as parent training. You don’t have to use this technique to learn your child’s cues as to when they need to go. If they know, you will know if you watch enough. As for the idea of holding a newborn over a toilet or sink and saying psss psss psss until they pee, I just think it’s a tad obsurd. It’s really not that big a deal to change a diaper.
