Jett hasn't gone #2 a diaper in many months and he's only 13 months old now! He whines until we put him on his potty then he goes every time! He went in a public bathroom at 12 months old. And we brought the potty with to visit my sister this weekend and he went at her house as well. If your child never gets used to wearing a soiled diaper, he'll be much more likely to communicate to you when he needs to go.
When I did have him go diaperless, he was communicating that he needed to pee by the end of the day. But then winter came so I had to but clothes back on him! This is much easier to do than you'd think.
I recommend reading Diaper Free by Ingrid Bauer.
