Holy Poop Batman!

[MomBoss]

All mine poop min of 2 times a day as well. Sometimes 3 poopy diapers within 6 hour span. Also will leak if not caught immediately. Whats weird is one has jet black poop. Literally black poop. I cant imagine what shes eating at home to cause it.
None of these kids are big eaters either. So what are they pooping out?! Lol

Are the parents concerned by the black stool? Is every single stool black? I wouldn't accept this child back into care until she had been seen and cleared by a doctor. The black stool makes me think there is some internal bleeding that isn't being taken care of.

Ive never though of that..hmm..i guess parents arent concerned. I was thinking some kind of food dye or too many dark berries. Its not every time. Maybe a couple per week.

The first two eat healthy at home. The last one eats junk, favorite food is “chicken fries”. 🙄

#1 was very close to a FTT dx. Pediatrician is now taking mom seriously due to slow growth. She wears 9/12m clothing. Weighs 21 pounds. Absolutely agree with an absorption issue.

#2’s parents aren’t worried at all. They think it’s normal for her. She does eat a TON of fruit because it’s ‘healthy’. She eats massive amounts of food here and is above the growth chart. Not overweight, yet, bordering it. She has started to cry when meals are over and is the only children unable to wait during meal serving to start eating. The mucous is what concerns me as well, otherwise I would just think parents were over feeding.

#3 worst diet ever. Lots of FF & junk. The poops do get worse mid week (from fiber) but the leaking makes her stink, which makes everything smelly. Mom just told me today she had no poops on waking yesterday. Fingers crossed!


(Ignoring the troll!)

Mucous poop could also be a sign of milk intolerance.
For #2 - I would push for an evaluation or doctor visit. Maybe it’s a sensory issue that she needs to overeat, and the overeating is causing the weird poops?
# 3 - maybe double diaper where you do a regular diaper, then one that’s a bigger size on top of it, but put it on bacjwatds sonyou get better coverage? Expensive but keeps them from leaking

Thought of this topic as I was changing the 6th poopy diaper of the day from 1 of my dcks, right before dcm walked in the door. I asked her 'what did dcb eat yesterday???':: His normal amount is 2-3 a day; yep, he's a little poop monster.

AND child has asthma, which I have read can be caused by milk allergies. She consumes a LOT of dairy.

:: We changed 13 yesterday. My diaper genie was full! All but ONE were from these three kids.

18mo DCG has been having extremely loose stools the past 2 weeks. Today DCM told me DCG was diagnosed with "toddler diarrhea" yesterday, stating that she is growing in track and is otherwise healthy. She was told to limit her milk to see if it helps.

Now that I am reading that mucous poop can be a sign of dairy intolerance, that definitely makes sense. This DCG is a big supporter of the dairy industry, drinks 7-8 ounces of milk at a sitting. We will be limiting dairy here and switching her to water while here, seeing as she drinks 8oz of milk on her way to daycare each day.

Learn something new every day, I have never heard of this diagnosis before!

I actually spent some time researching her symptoms yesterday, and saw this listed on a children's hospital website. I had never heard of it before either, and when DCM told me this morning what her doctor said I thought 8t was quite the coincidence. The DR did also tell DCM that DCG's mucousy stools were from the leftover snot from her cold that cleared up 2 weeks ago. So, not sure I 100% believe in the diagnosis.

My dcg, too!

Is that an ACTUAL diagnosis? I googled and couldn't come up with anything relating to a legitimate dx.

My dad was diagnosed with toddler diarrhea, but it’s from a birth defect and it took months and months and a specialist to diagnose. Basically her body wasn’t able to digest correctly so her poops were liquidy.
I seriously doubt a pediatrician would diagnose

If she’s drinking that much milk, what is probably happening is that she has hard stool That isn’t coming out and what IS coming out is diarrhea from around it. It can cause serious damage if that’s the case
