Is this normal? It seems a lot, but he consistently does at least 2, if not 3. he is healthy, of good weight...so doesn't seem to be a problme and would rather it this way than constipation, but just wanted to check. thanks!

13m DD2 usually does 2 and sometimes 3 a day. They were recently quite dry and pellet-like which I know is a symptom of constipation but she still managed to go as frequently (sorry TMI!). Back to normal the past couple of days though. DD1 on the other hand only went once every other day.

ds is now 2 and only probably does on average 2 a day these days, but for a long time it was 3 a day, sometimes 4! He seemed fine, and I put it down to eating lots of fruit - a bit annoying for nappy changing, but there you go!

DD2 is 20 months and more often than not is a 3 a day girl. After each meal, regular as clockwork. DD1 was the same, until she went out of nappies and now she is down to 1 a day, youwill be relieved to hear!

DS1 was like this until he reached 3. now he does one (enormous ) poo in the morning. before it was after breakfast, lunch and dinner (which made potty training rather easy!)
Ds2 is nothing like that.

Dont worry!

Yes

Don't worry - the number of nappies a day will decrease...
