going for a no.2 every other/third day- normal?

[vannah]

DH goes every other day, sometimes every 3 days but maintains that this has been his pattern all his life and that he is not constipated and that its normal.

Now my 3 year old seems to be following the same footsteps and whereas once, before he was potty trained he would poo every day, he now only goes every other day despite water/fruit lots of every day.

Ive always believed its normal to go everyday. The 'you are what you eat' woman seems to think the same but I think she's a bit over the top

what is your view on this please?
thankyou

I think if they are eating/drinking well and have no pain/discomfort etc, then it is ok and that is just going to be their normal pattern. It is more of a worry if their normal pattern changes.
Imo that bloody 'You are what you eat' woman is just a wee bit odd

i think she is really irritating - her advice to leave so many hours before -after eating fruit has put me off eating it.
thanks nellie
