Brief Answer:
Depends on the keen-ness of your child

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The physical maturity and readiness skills needed for successful toilet learning appear in girls between 18 and 30 months of age. The average age for girls to be toilet trained is 29 months. The key to toilet training success is starting only when your daughter is truly able to do so. While some kids can start as young as 18 months, others may not be prepared to learn until they are 3 or 4. The answer to how long it could take depends on the eagerness of your child.

The first step to start would be to encourage her to start and to make her attempt at probable times. Reassurance and encouragement are very important.

Let me know if I could help further.
