    4 & 5 from anecdotal data - friends/relatives in day care. Those are outliers but they do fit the trend.

    Around 6 months is extremely common in places which use “elimination communication.” The article I linked described this.

    I don’t have children but consider myself both an academic and personal stakeholder - ie, I’ve changed a fair amount of diapers and I have taught parents how to parent to reasonable success.

    I personally was potty trained at 4 - as in, I have episodic memory of getting Pokémon stickers as a reward for shitting.

    There’s been severe regression related to COVID too. The school district I worked at had to send out reminders to parents that potty training was a pre-requisite for preschool - and many parents put it off until the need to send the kid to school forces the issue.
