My 14 month old has never had a fully formed poo

[Twinski]

My daughter is 14 months now and has never had a normal poo they have always been extremely watery or mushy even though she is fully weaned I'm reluctant to put her on cows milk until I no what the problem is as I don't want to be introducing anything else that maybe causing problems can anyone offer any advice please

Mine is 26 months and still doesn't do solid poo.

Doctor says she just has soft poo but is normal. There's no infection or anything.

Have you spoken to a HV or doctor about it?

Is she BF or FF then if she doesn't have cows milk?

I spoke to the HV who just said it will sort itself out in its own time if it was an allergy I would have known by now it's just concerning when other children her age are having solid poos it makes you wonder there must be something going on

Formula aptamil 1+

I think they often look squashier than they really are when smeared inside a nappy. DS always had smeary soft poo. Once toilet trained they have always been fully formed turds, except when he's had diarrhoea of course.

Does she have any underlying health issues, recurring infections, sleep disturbances, skin / respiratory issues? Is she average sized? What are her energy levels like? Is she generally a happy baby or is she unsettled?

(My DS had very loose bowels but he also had other things going on which lead me to push for answers.)

Is formula not cows milk?

My DS1 always has v soft poo. Like pâté. As above they did come out as sausages once he was doing them on toilet.
I always put it down to him being a fruit monster.

My friend's dd had this - my friend said GP/HV etc all said it was normal - however it turned out the little girl has coeliac disease (as do others in her family). I think it might be worth asking your GP about this.

My. Dd never formed a solid poo.
She had reflux as a a baby which stopped about 14 months when she was fully upright.
She potty trained no problem at 2.

At 3 I thought poo still wasn't normal.

It took until 5 to get her through docs properly and diagnosed as cows milk protein intolerant. It's an exclusions diet, blood tests and a lactose test.

Think about removing milk completely from diet and once potty trained its easy to look at poo. If you do this, at her age now, you will need a dietician advice.

Someone asked me recently if I thought my son was also CMPI and I said no. He strains to poo, not massively, but he has a 'poo face'. My dd has never strained in her life.

With no milk (AND SOYA) in her diet, her poo is much more normal to me.

DD had this - perfectly healthy otherwise so I thought it was normal. Nursery manager suggested it could be toddler diarrhea so we altered her diet and it's much improved.

DS still has loose poos now at 3.5. Never realised how loose until I had another baby (dd is 5 months, eats only fruit and veg purées and milk and has more solid pops than him). No other symptoms though and dr not concerned.

My son was like this (he's 1) - numerous mushy poos per day. He was drinking Hipps Organic growing up milk. Otherwise he was a completely happy, bouncy child with a good appetite. We took him to the doctor earlier this week, as he had developed severe nappy rash and mentioned the poo issue. Doctor suggested it could be a cow's milk intolerance (as formula milk is derived from cows milk). We put him on to soya milk and there has been an almost instataneous change - poos have become more solid and (hurrah) he has started to sleep through the night (literally the day that we changed over).
