Usually as soon as children starts to crawl and try to stand on their own (I have 3 grown children, the first 2 I started when they started crawling, the last one I waited until he was a todler, that was a big mistake on my part, it took so much longer than the first 2). Most parent feel bad when they have to tell the child no you may not get up off the potty, I did not, just sat on the floor and kept my child's company and sang and talk (basically I intertained my children while they were on the potty that is the trick in potty training, you have to be there for your child).

You will know when your daughter is ready to toliet train. Anytime before the age of 3 is when children usually start to train. You can start as early as one by putting her on a potty or just wait until she grasps the concept of going to the potty. After you toliet train though, it is not unlikely to still have to use diapers or pull-ups at night.

I would say sometime before two. (unless it is too late)
I worked at a daycare in the "toddler" room. All the children in my class were usually under two and I took them potty all day. Most of them wouldn't do much, but it adjusted them to the potty.
Also, if she is noticing herself being wet or soiled it would be a good time. You can try to explain to her the best you can that that means she is pottying and she can sit on the big girl potty to do that.
Every child is different when it comes to the right time, so I would say go with your instincts, don't wait too long (like age 4), and be patient with it.

When you think she's ready to be potty trained. My son started as soon as he was 3 and was trained within a week. Your daughter needs to be ready though. She needs to show signs of readiness. Like; wanting to use the toilet. Buy her some under ware. Let her help you pick them out. buy some pullups they don't have to be pullup brand you can buy the store brands they work just as well. Make her use the potty every 30-40 minutes or so. put her on a schedule. Give her treats every time she goes. My son got M&M's every time he went pee and every time he pooped he got a Hershey's chocolate kiss. well you don't have to use candy but I am sure you can find something. Good luck. Also you can go to pullups.com and get good suggestions. â¥

When she starts showing signs. Like IF she's telling you her diaper (or pull up) is wet, then she is letting you know that she is aware of what is happening. This is a good indication that she might be ready to learn.
Want some tips?
Introduce her to her own "BIG GIRL" potty seat, and show her once or twice a day what it's for, for about a week to see if she shows any interest.
What's most important, is when you do begin to train her, you must try her on the potty every 15-20 minutes because we are unaware of how small their bladders are. Also, she may not go in the first 15 minutes, but may have to go shortly after -- track her pee's and poops on a schedule especially if you're on a routine with her with feedings. You will begin to notice how often she needs to empty her bladder.
It is important to not scold or show disappointment as this is a learning experience for her, and you want her to feel proud of her accomplishments.
Reward her with stickers and hugs and maybe a song..(ie. "Mommy WOW! I'm a BIG GIRL now!"). I don't recommend rewarding with treats like candy - but that's my opinion only. Rewarding with food can teach other bad eating behaviours we aren't even realizing!
If she shows no interest, put the potty seat away for a week or two, and bring it back out when she may have forgotten about it.
Also, she may train during the day, but nap times and bed times may still need a pull up... those times take a little bit longer... just because they're trained during the day, doesn't mean she's ready to go to bed without one! I always take my girls to the washroom before I go to sleep... and allow them to walk (with complete assistance as they are still very much asleep!) to the washroom...
Also, it's very normal for accidents to happen, remember to not discourage or to not feel discouraged yourself!
Good luck!!

18 months-I started my son then and he was completely potty trained by the time he was 2. He never even had one accident, not even in the night.
