FTM with very limited experience of changing nappies so I have no comparator whatsoever,

is this a ‘normal’ nappy for an 16 month old? She goes once a day normally, maybe twice so it’s not diarrhoea, but it seems too mushy?

Im worried about a food intolerance/ allergy but nursery haven’t said anything so maybe it’s fine?

Help! Gross photo included

i am not medically qualified.

i work in childcare and wouldn’t flag that as problem poop really. Does kiddo eat lots of veg? I would put that down to a veg heavy poop if the child wasn’t showing other signs of allergies or discomfort.

@Burnttvery reassuring thank you! She eats loads of everything, but her diet does include a lot of fruit, veg, and she has recently upped her weetabix and milk intake, so could be that, plus she had a tummy bug over Easter.

it’s giving her a bit of nappy rash which never quite heals so hoping it clears up soon…
