Hi, I think if your baby is able to sit nicely without support and has firm sitting stance then you can start potty training. Yes, you do not have to be very rigid with her, as in, expecting her to poo each time on the potty. For now, just introduce this habit of her sitting on the pot seat. Because kids do not have this much of patience to sit at one place for more than a few minutes. So, first develop the habit of sitting on the pot seat. First thing when she wakes up, make her sit on the pot. Even if she doesn't poo in it, she will develop the habit of sitting on it, and eventually, she will start dong poo in it. Your father's concern may be that the baby would find it difficult to walk with diaper on. And he wants you to her walk freely, her walking not being obstructed by the diaper.
