Every child is different. Watch for signals like dry diapers when she wakes up or dry diapers for 3 hours. Some my touch the private area.

My daughter is two and I started her by just letting her sit in the potty even if she doesn't do anything. She has used it successfully a few times!

I started my oldest around 3 after trying and failing earlier haha but my youngest completely took to it right before she turned 2 so it’s completely child dependent! A couple cues that they’re ready though are if they have a clean diaper right when they wake in the morning, and if they go to kinda hide or go in a corner when they have to poo😂

Dry diapers after naps. That was my cue

We started at around 6 months. We potty her before and after naps and after meals. She regularly has a dry nappy after naps now and nearly all poos are in the potty. It's working for us so if you feel ready I'd say go for it! Just if you're starting younger try and get a potty with a bit of a back on it for some support x

I started potty training just after my daughter turned 15 months and she was potty trained by around 17 months. She very quickly learned that she didn't want to poo in her nappy so this took a couple of weeks. It was the wee part that took a bit longer

I feel like introducing them too it if they seem interested give it a try ! If not try again when you think she’s giving signs she’s ready, I started my daughter at 3 years old (currently potty training her right now) and made a sticker chart for her and encouraged her

Honestly, whenever they start to show interest. My first was potty trained fully at 14 months, my second was fully potty trained by 2.5 years. I used their cues (ripping diaper off and telling me they have to go potty or went potty in diaper)

And to go off my last comment, I feel like girls are fairly easy to potty train when given the right timing. My first basically did it herself (I got lucky), my second I bribed with everything and did a sticker chart. Both times I did a 10-15 minute timer and took them everytime and gave them lots of fluids to make them have to keep going. 🙂
