a poo question

[bluetortoise]

Hello everyone, I feel a bit silly asking this but I am not sure if this is normal for his age or not (DS 2.4yo). The consistency of his stools have changed a bit since a while ago, a few weeks back I seem to remember that his poo used to be a bit solid almost like a play dough consistency and now it is more like a soft paste, more like babyish poo than I would expect from a toddler I think. But I am not sure if this is normal consistency or not. He is generally a healthy boy so I am not sure if this is something I need to be concerned about or not. Do you have a child of about his age and would you say this is normal for his age? Thanks for your help

anyone

It isn't abnormal to have a 'toddler diarrhoea'. Since he is healthy don't worry about it at all.

Thank you very much for your reply Mears and the link you sent. I have read it and it might be what he has got. I think he eats healthly, cereal or bread in the morning and sometimes followed by a fruit, usually sandwich, soup or a proper meal at lunch time and the majority of days freshly home cooked meal at dinner time. Drinks mainly water and so on. Not sure what I could do differently, maybe give wholemeal bread instead of white? I think I shouldn't worry much but I can't help it

I wouldn't change anything just now. If he is happy ignore it.

thanks for reassuring me Mears. I will leave at the minute then and see what happens, cheers

blue I was about to post the same question as I was thinking my DS (2) should have formed poo by now. He eats and drinks very healthily but huge volumes as seems to have hollow legs

Reading the link my DS has very soft poo not liquid maybe once/twice a day. My main concern is potty training as I would have thought he may have reduced sensation and not have enough warning.
