Dena, potty training is going to be totally up to you on how long it takes. Remember that your baby is only about 2 1/2 in human life. Their bladder muscles are not totally strong yet. Each time they can hold it just a little bit, that is exercise for those muscles. Your baby needs to be taken out every 3 to 4 hours. She may need to go once during the night too. If the baby doesn't get to potty when needed, then the bad habits of soiling the floor starts, and is very hard to stop. I'm lucky that I'm retired. Maggie is 14 weeks old and 99% housebroken. She goes to the door when she needs to go. That remaining 1% is when sometimes I have to ask her if she needs to go PP. First few weeks was NO SLEEP. Didn't know who was more miserable, me or her. Now, it's a breeze. Good Luck.
