I have twin girls, I started potty training them at 27 months. What I did was once you decide no more diapers you stick with it. Once we went to underware during the day, we did not go back to diapers. We used diapers only at night. Now here it is almost 10 months after we started training and they are potty trained day and night. No more diapers.

Firstly congratulations on doing so well with your first!!! I have a 2 year old son and my father was always telling me how he should have long been out of nappies, apparently we we're all dry by one-one and a half. I stuck to my guns and potty trained at 2yrs 4months and had no real problems. What I'm trying to say is you as a mother know the right time for your child and since your not having any problems I really don't think you have harmed her or done anything wrong at all. As for night-time nappies, I personally am going to leave it a little while until 90% of morning nappies are dry. I always take my little one to the potty before bed and try not to give him too much to drink after 6pm. Do the night-time when you are ready and your daughter is ready and well done on the progress you have made so far.

In my personal opinion yes, girls are easier than boys however I don't always know if this is the case. As far as tips, some people use a reward system for using the potty, rather it be candy or even stickers and praise. I also think she may just not be ready, after all she is only 1 and usually kids start training more closer to two, they don't really have a lot of control over their bladder or bowels until then so take your time and don't rush her into it. You should never force it ( not saying you are) and really relax, she will go when she is ready, they all do. Good Luck!

i don't think that she is to young age wise. my daughter started potty training at 1 1/2 and she has done good.
but all children are not the same so she may not be ready.
but some things to try.
well if she likes to draw and color. face her potty toward the wall and hang a big piece of paper on the wall. give her a crayon or marker and let her draw while she is on the potty.
that way she dosn't feel like she has to stop playing to go potty.
if she dosn't like to draw try something else like. if she like baby dolls or stuffed animals. buy an extra potty just a little cheap one. and every time you take her to the potty put her favorite baby or stuffed animal on the other potty right next to her and tell her she needs to teach it how to go potty.
those two worked for me.
but if she shows no interest i would wait another month and try again and just keep giving her time untill she wants to use the potty.
good luck.

My son is 3 years old and didn't potty train untill he was 2. She may not be ready. They are usually ready when they start bringing you diapers or let you know that they are ready for a diaper change.Maybe, try putting a potty chair in the living room, so that she is constantly reminded to go potty. Here is a site with some tips.

She's not developmentally ready. Wait until she shows more readiness signs, which will most likely be when she's 2. By pushing her to use the potty when she's clearly not ready, she will just be stressed out about it and the process will be delayed even more when she's finally ready to learn.
Also, girls may be easier to train than boys on average, but not always as individuals. My son took less than a week to be fully trained, including at night. We started just before he turned 2. All kids are different, though.

One year old is pretty young to truly get the hang of this on a regular basis. You'll probably get lucky now and then, but you're setting yourself up for lots of accidents, especially on the -uh- solid end. My son was over 3 before he truly had the hang of the whole routine. Watch your child carefully and try to steer her in the right direction... and if she's not getting it, listen to that, too, and wait a while.
Every child is SO different, especially with developmental stages like these. You have to do what works for your child... and that's the best and only advice I can think to give.

When my daughter was training I bought a bunch of cookies and called it the potty jar. Every time she pooped or peed she could get a cookie, 1 cookie for no#1 and 2 cookies for no#2. It also helps them to learn how to count. I also did a little song and dance with the cookies. It's best to sit them on the potty about 1hour and a half after every meal and no water after 6 P.M. Doing on a regular bases took about 2 weeks of potty training. Since she didn't like to see me get angry at her when made a mess, she tried hard not to make a mess.
good luck honey!

Good Luck! She is a bit on the young side. My boys were easier to train than my daughter. She was almost three. You just need a lot of patience. Don't give up! When she is successful, praise her. Talking with most parents though, 2 years seem to be the norm. Keep trying, it will pay off eventually.

LOL
I'm not laughing at you but remembering what it was like to potty train my children...
Girls are easier then boys to potty train (2 boys and 1 girl) but when it comes to "poop" they all have the same perspective on it...It's the fear of loosing something solid from them and nothing to catch it with except water.
check out the link, it might help...good luck
