I used cloth nappies for both my girls and my 2nd from about 8 months really got very upset at doing poo's in her nappy. It coincided with her stools firming up and she would literally scream when she was doing a poo - so the moment I saw her signal that she needed a poo I would strip her down and put her over the loo and let her do the do in the loo. I wasn't doing it to early train her, it was only to make it more comfortable for her and gravity does help. We did get to the point by 9 mths that we learnt the signal way before we got to screaming and she would always use the loo for number 2's.
I think though to do proper EC with babies it takes alot of time and patience and well there is alot of mess. Its well practised in countries where nappies are very much a unnecessary luxury that most cannot afford.
triangle sandwiches are better than square ones...
