I was planning on waiting a few more months until really starting the potty training because I am due to have a baby any day now. But, she has been sitting on the potty and letting me know when she needs to "poop." She sat on there tonight and actually went! I think she is ready, but I need some advice considering she is my first. Does she need to start wearing pull ups now? Any advice would be helpful!
Well, personally, I’d avoid pull ups altogether. My daughter is 21 months old and I went and got her some when she was showing all the signs, and she just figured they were a prettier(and more expensive) diaper, so she’d just go in them. We went and got her big girl underwear, but I scared her the first day she was wearing them because she had an accident and we rushed to the bathroom a little too quickly, so she decided to not potty train at all right now, lol. So we’re back to where we started.
If you haven’t got one already, get her either her own potty or a toddler toliet seat. Work with her about being able to pull down her pants, and don’t buy any one piece outfits, overalls, or any other fall clothing that she can’t get off quickly. A potty book is always helpful, I found an Elmo one at walmart, my daughter loves to sit on her potty and read it. Also, set your hot water tank to 120(or whatever the recommended temp is) and make sure she has a stool to reach, and maybe her own special soap(kandoo is soo cute) so you can teach her to wash her own hands(my daughter’s favorite part,lol). Decide what reward system you will use, whether it be excessive praise(scared my brat), a candy reward(we’re using sixlets) or a sticker chart(she was more interested in eating the stickers for some reason) and make sure you stay consistent with it. Don’t push her, but do reward her when she goes. We put the undies on under my daughter’s diaper, so she knows exactly when she’s wet/starts to go, and is learning to tell me, and yet it cuts down on the mess. Our landlord so nicely put cream colored carpet all over the apartment we live in, so we have to be real careful about messes, lol. Sure I have to do laundry every few days or so, but I have a container full off soapy water that I put the wet undies into so they don’t start to stink and I don’t have to run the washer everyday. But definitely keep the diapers in stock for a while yet, because as you know, she’ll probably revert a bit when her new sibling comes as an attention thing. Just try to turn it into praise and lots of attention for her if she should continue the potty training.
Good luck!

what are some great ways to getting my 18 month old little girl potty trained?
We just started our son about a week ago and he has a Baby Bjorn potty and he is able to sit on it all on his own and it is a good size for him. Here is a link with pretty much what we are doing with him… http://raisingrocco.wordpress.com/category/potty-training/ He has been making great progress. The beginning of the week he had a lot of accidents, but he now will go and sit on the potty all by himself and pee, get up and pull the insert out and proudly walk with us to the big toilet and dump it in there. Today was his first day in underwear (we decided to have him go naked to make it easier to get him on the potty when needed), we put him in them halfway through the day and he kept them dry all the rest of the day. When he would go to sit on the potty we would help him with them. We haven’t had to use candy or anything like that and so far so good! He loves it, yesterday and today is when he has really caught on. Way easier than I thought it would be. He will be 18 months on the 25th of this month.
This Video explains the signs of readiness for potty training.

How old did your little girls completely become potty trained?? What is your advice??
For my first by 2 she was completely trained, and was dry day and night, although I never used a potty I had a trainer seat and taught her to sit on the toilet right away, I was amazed to be honest at how quickly she got it.With my second it was much more difficult, even though I used the same techniques, it wasn’t until she was 3 and a bit, and she continued to wet the bed occasionally until 4.
My advice is, be patient, don’t yell or punish if she has an "accident", keep asking her every 15-20 mins if she needs to use the potty, when you need the bathroom, tell her, "Mommy needs to go potty"
And when she does start to successfully use it be sure to reward her. Good luck.

Objects fall from above and players must catch only what belongs in the potty. Watch the “green/good” meter go up as toilet paper drops successfully into the potty, and watch it go down as other objects such as hamburgers and tricycles drop in by mistake. WATCH OUT! Too many “bad” objects and the potty will overflow!
Tilt your iPhone side to side to slide the potty back and forth at the bottom of the screen. When the green/good meter is full, you WIN.
