Anyone potty train before LO could talk & some ?s

in Success after IF
So DD is showing signs of being ready. She walks up to me and pulls at her diaper when she pees. When she does #2 she squats in a corner and if I ask her if she is pooping she'll repeat poop but it only comes out as "p". While I don't want to miss the opportunity that she may be ready I'm worried with such little language she won't be successful. Is it bad to try and if it's not working stop and try again later? Is it true that if I ignore her being ready that it will be harder down the road? My mom and husband are really pushing me to buy a potty seat but I'm not sure what I want to do.

    Sorry I wanted to add that DD does do a little signing but hasn't picked up on the sign for poop which I think is hard to do. She does grab the front of her diaper for #1 and 2 though. TIA!

    We have this DVD, which is totally not necessary, but basically, they teach them five signs (potty, all done, more, wash, and good job) and there is a sticker/reward chart (she is probably not old enough yet).  You could get her a few of the cheap ikea potties and put her on them before baths/after naps, teach her the signs, and see what happens.  Basically, she just needs to be able to communicate and hold it for a while (around 15 months, Avi started peeing less often but more volume).  She might not be fully PTed for a while, but there is no reason you can't start working on it casually.

    We started with Jace at 3 months so technically NO communication is necessary to have success using the potty.

    But - words are not necessary.

    The bottom line is can you tell when she needs to go and get her there on time or are you willing to put her on the potty on a schedule.

    Nothing wrong with trying and stopping.  I personally don't believe it will make it harder later at this age.  

    As for others pushing you?  You're the one doing the work.  I'm a huge huge fan of early potty training but it is work.  You've got to be ready or it's gonna be agonizing.

    I recommend the book:  Early Start Potty Training 

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
