Mucus poop... help!

My baby boy is about to turn 15 months.

The last week he has been pooping a lot more. It started off as loose diarrhea for 2 days and then the last week he has been pooping around 3 times a day. They are usually firmish to an extent but have a lot of mucus in them and can vary in colours....

Should I be concerned about this? I don't know whether this is normal or if it's because hes had diarrhea recently? Is there a time when mucus in poop would become concerning

Hi OP, I also have a 15 month old and we had this happen about two weeks ago. How is he in himself?
My DS had a tooth coming through and a bit of a bug so it lasted around 4-5 days in all. Just kept him hydrated and watched him closely, it's not fun though!

Hi!

This makes me feel a little better... I didnt even think to look for teeth and I can see he has his 7th tooth coming through! So maybe it's this, he seems pretty well in himself and hes never had issues with teething which is why I almost forget to look if he has any coming through! X
