too much poo??

[lucyp]

Yes - sorry a poo question :) What has life come to :D ?

Anyway - DS near 8 months old - having 3 solids meals a day + some avo tea. Lately he has been doing about 3 poos a day!! Is this too many?? How much pooping is normal?? :)

I'm not sure what is normal, but ds is doing about the same. Some days it varies, and they sure stink a lot more than they used to!! :eek:

I guess it depends what they're eating/drinking, but as long as they're not constipated or runny it should be fine. Maybe contact your maternal health nurse if you're really concerned. If a phone call can give you peace of mind, it's worth it.

So long as the 'texture' is right and he isn't upset, I wouldn't be worried. Much better to be out than in :eek:

My 3 1/2 yr old daughter poos about 2 or 3 times a day so I wouldn't be too worried. As the others have said as long as they look "normal" all should be fine.

My 19 month old usually does 3 or so poops a day, i think it is a sign of a healthy, well functioning bowel!

Aparently, if you are eating right a healthy person (child and adult!) should be pooing 2-3 times daily!

Sounds like your ds is doing just great!
