Potty training at 6 months sounds like the masochists approach. Why would you train before they can physically get on a potty? Yes, they pee all the time at 4 months, do they really gain much being held on a potty?

I don't want to plop a baby in front of TV but likewise I wouldn't want their early months to be all about the potty.

When they're ready, if they've had a rounded start to life it's a just another simple transition.

+1. For our family, it is not worth the stress of enforcing this new behavior until our child actively exhibit signs that they are ready for this endeavor. Maybe we have late bloomers, but it’s on average around 2 or 3 years old before they become potty trained. Yes, it is expensive and not great for the environment with the mountains of diapers we consume, but this method is still worth my sanity.

You've got to change them anyway. Might as well sit them on the potty. It adds maybe a minute to the whole procedure. And every time something lands in the potty, you'll be overjoyed (and your baby just might pick up on that, too. Maybe. Depends on your baby!)
