Sorry for TMI but my DS is 3 and up until about a week ago he had 1 BM a day (sometimes 2 depending on what he ate) they looked normal and healthy.
About a week ago (diet hasn’t changed) he started doing a lot more during the day, his record so far is 6!!!
He has his usual normal BM in the morning which is exactly the same as it has been, but then during the day he is doing much smaller ones (colour and concistancy are the same from what I can tell).
I know that your BM says a lot about your health so I’m not sure if this sudden change in frequency is something I should be concerned about or not and I can’t seem to find much about it online.
Should I take him to the doctors or am I just being paranoid?

Id give it a week or two before you see a doctor if he's otherwise well. Might just be a very minor virus.
