Toddler diarrhea

[Spongebob]

Hi all. I took my 10 m/o DS to the DR.s as for past 2 weeks his bowel movements have been very odd. Frequent pooing and full of mucus - otherwise hes well. The Dr said its "toddler diarrhea" but I read that this is only occasional...also I understood lots of mucus in poo is bad? Does anyone know anything about this as Im still a bit worried despite what the doc said.

Has he had a cold ? dd is a bit variable but she is much older , almost 4. Definitely worse when she has catarrh or if the weather is warmer.

No. no cold...nothing else just really weird and smelly kind of foamy poo.

Teething ? Is it a really bitter smell ?

Yes he's teething...it smells fishy - really unpleasant (not that Ive ever smelt pleasant poo!!)

Lots of mucus in the poo suggests teething as well.

Does it? Good. Im a first time Mum and panic at the slightest thing

The teething makes them drool, and they swallow as much as they dribble ... so it ends up in their poo.

Nice

Yuk
