What's normal? How many times a day would be considered "normal" for a child to have a bm? I have one dck2 who goes sometimes 5/6 times a day. And that's girls here! She does it at home to. Just about every bum chance she is poppy and I mean a full diaper, but never a solid bm it's always always soft. Is this normal? I've never had such a poppy kid before!
Poop!

I've mentioned it to dcm and she doesn't think it's an issue, I'd be super worried if it was my child.- Flag

I had two dcg's like this, and I absolutely agree it's too many! My dcm wasn't concerned either. I would have been at the dr office to see if it was diet, digestion, etc. One was finally diagnosed with failure to thrive and the other one was a large baby that ate anything in sight :: Agree with changing diet to see if you notice any changes.

At 3 months old, my daughter pooped 7-8 times a day (same as your girl, since surely she goes some at home, too). I didn't know to be concerned, but her pediatrician was. She tested her and found blood in her poop--which turned out to be caused by a dairy allergy. I'd definitely recommend talking with the pediatrician.- Flag

I have a 3.5yo who had the same problem. I cut her juice intake right down (from whenever as per moms instructions) to watered down with meals only and only a small amount. She went from 4-5 bms per day to one a day or occasionally 2. She is potty trained, but I still have to do bum wipes, so I am thrilled.- Flag
