Baby poo

Just wondering if anyone else has come across this...

My almost 9 month old used to poo once a day since birth.
For the last month he has gone around 10 times through the day and night. I went to the docs they said it might be a bug I sent off a
Poo sample it came back as normal!

The poos are like mucus some of them or watery and smell bad! it’s almost like whatever he has to eat or drink is going straight through him! I don’t know how long it takes to digest food but he had a pouch at say 12 and by 2 I could see it in his nappy.

Some people say is it teething? Well he doesn’t have any teeth yet so it’s hard to tell and I can’t see any coming through!

Anyone else has this!?

Sounds potentially like a food intolerance. It's he gaining weight as expected?

If he's otherwise completely well, gaining weight and thriving, "toddler diarrhoea" is a likely explanation and very common.

It could be a temporary lactose intolerance following diarrhea from a bug.
Give it a google.
My DD had diarrhea the same i.e mucus etc for 30 days going atleast 6 - 10 times a day.
After 2 days lactose free it completely stopped and back to 1 poop a day.
Temporary intolerance can last between 4-8 weeks.
My DD wasnt weaned though so it was easy to just swap to lactose free milk.
Bit harder as your littlen is having foods too
