Honestly, I think it would be an exercise in frustration for you to try to "potty train" your daughter now. I think it would be yourself that you would be training, not her. She is not fully capable of understanding at this point, and she cannot pull her pants down, get on the potty, wipe herself etc. Also, you mention that she goes to daycare. Are they prepared to work with her on potty training now too? My concern is that if she has a couple of (coincidental) successes, you'll get excited and try even harder to get her to do it all the time, and she'll get frustrated and balk at the whole experience. This could actually set her back on potty training in the future. If you want to start teaching her about the potty, (without pressure) I think that is perfectly fine. For example, buy her a doll that goes potty so you and she can play with that. Buy a couple books that you can read to her or watch a video. If you're using baby signs, teach her the sign for potty, and definitely talk to her about what you're doing when you have the bathroom with you. However, I really don't think you should start to train her before 18 months, and if she isn't ready then, back off and try again at 2 years. I know a diaper-free existence is an exciting thought, but I don't think it's realistic for at least another year or so. When I was training my older daughter, I read several sites online that have lots of great tips on recognizing signs of readiness and how to get started. Good luck!
