Early potty training.

What are your thought on early potty training? My one year old is telling me sometimes right before, sometimes during and other times right after she poops in her diaper. Then she tries to pull her pants off as soon as she is done. When she is in the bathtub, she will point at the toilet and say peepee or poopoo in potty. So she knows what to do. I just don't want to traumatize her or anything by pushing her to try it too early. So what do y'all think?

Wow, that's gr8t at a year old. I would encourage her to continue this behavior and be really supportive when she follows through with using the potty. I wouldn't push the subject or make a big deal out of i and I think she should just do it in her own time.

Thanks. Right now we've decided to sit her on her potty while she is going. But not take her diaper off or anything. She is staying put until she is done. I thought that might be better than risking a mess lol.
