My 18 month old ds does about four or five poops a day and has done for some time. It seems a normal healthy consistency, although sometimes it is pretty liquid. I'm wondering if this is in the normal range or is excessive and should be checked out.
I wonder if he is having too much fibre in his diet, or if he has a food allergy of some sort.
This might seem a bit boring, but I'll just outline what he has on a typical day to see if it sounds a bit fibre rich.
He usually has the same cereal as me, most frequently this is fruit and fibre, although we also have cheerios sometimes. He usually has a bit of apple mid morning then for lunch has a slice to a slice and a half of brown bread with egg and cheese scramble or with tuna and cheese or cheese and ham, plus quite a few grapes or some melon.
He often has a snack of a banana in the afternoon and for dinner has some of our dinner plus veg or fishfingers peas and brown bread and butter, or Lynda Mccartney sausages peas and brown bread (he likes peas) followed by fruit and full fat Greek yoghurt.
He doesn't eat everything I give him, but usually manages a half to three quarters of the meal.
He is still breastfed, but also has drinks of cow's milk and water throughout the day.
He is a very slim little boy who is always on the go.
Does this seem too fibre rich for a baby of his age?
