My DD had a gastro infection months ago. Ever since she has not had a solid poo. All that comes out is paste. I have changed her formula, and she does not eat the same food every day. It does not make a difference if she is at home for the weekend or at nursery.

I know she is teething, but surely it`s not so persistant.

Has anyone experienced somethng similar?

My DS1 often has runny-ish poos. But he's not generally unwell, I think this is just normal for his age.

How old is she, PebbleLilly? A lot of toddlers go through this.

Shes almost 15 month and this lasted for almost two months. Before she didnt have anything like this.

I am confused about what you mean by 'a solid poo' as opposed to paste?

do you mean like poo shaped as opposed to smeared along the nappy?

WigWamBam · 27/05/2005 21:44

At that age, none of my dd's poos were solid.

I always thought that solid poo for a toddler normally means they aren't drinking enough

No shaped poo was ever found in a nappy lately. It is like a nice runny smoothy. It goes all over her back and up her tummy. It is a real effort to change her. The GP told me to be happy because if she was constipated then I would complain about that...

I find food and drink to make no difference, and bouncing on is .... oh, well... again; no difference

I'm sorry PebbleLilly, I actually find it very difficult to understand your sentences so don't actually get what you just posted

But solid poo in a baby / toddler is more abnormal than normal and I wouldn't worry about it

misdee · 27/05/2005 21:55

she3 doesnt have food allergies. she does have some allergies but not to food. she was seen by paed as she was often sick as well, and they said it could be intolerences or she could frow out of it. so far she has stopped being sick, but poo is still paste-like.

Sorry for my limited abilities to phrase sentences!

I was just wondering why she changed so much compared to when she was 8-13 months...

But it seems there`s nothing to worry about as you suggest

I agree, maybe you could try out different nappy brands too

Twiglett · 27/05/2005 22:00

at perfectly formed sentences

Probably nothing to worry about. However milk intolerance is common after infections and could cause the change. Do you give her live yoghurt? Probiotics are a good idea after infection.
