Hamro-
She is trained for poo, we are still working on catching all the pee's. We do really good on some days, and then other days not so great, but she is used to going on our big potty with the Baby Bjorn insert, or if we are out on the potette plus travel potty. It's totally normal for her to go like a big girl. :-)

It's called Elimination Communication, you can wiki it, and there are some great articles on tribal baby that will come up. It's also called "infant potty training", and "diaper free", but she does still wear little pants.

The EC store, where this potty is sold from also has a lot of good info. The basic premise is, you can learn to hear in their cries and signals if they are hungry or tired. Well, when they are very young they also cry that they have to pee, so if they get used to you responding to them when they have to go they become very aware of the process in the same way that they get used to crying for food and getting fed. It can be done part time too, so even if it seems like an all or nothing thing, it isn't. It can be practiced for just a few hours a week and still benefit you in the long run. Hope this helps!

I have the baby bjorn little potty in white and have been using it with my 8 month since she was 2 months old doing EC together. The clear potty would have definitely have been a good thing in the early days when she wasn't very loud, now it isn't as much as an issue. I don't imagine it would be a nice thing to look at a three year olds excrement.

But then, I am spoiled, for as much of an investment in time EC is in the beginning, I haven't had to change a poopy diaper in 3 months, and there may have only been 3 or 4 "misses" in the 3 months before that. (And yes, she is very regular) It's amazing what a baby can learn and communicate if given the chance. Which is where this potty comes in. :-)

I have this set... actually, the only Lego "house" sets I don't have yet is the new Green grocer. But I have the townhouse, the Red & White little house, the big hotel and market street. I love them all. These are neat because they do use regular individual pieces instead of alot of specialized parts. The chicken leg of the grill is fantastic on this set. So cute!
