Nursery & food

Hi,

FTM and my baby has now done his 2nd week at nursery and he has been having loose stools this week. He is otherwise absolutely healthy and happy and I wouldn't deem it diarrhoea.

I feel at the nursery he eats quite a lot of food compared to his day to day life at home & he then comes home and has a proper dinner - could his stool just be his tummy adjusting to the new food?

Is it a similar diet at nursery to what he eats at home?

I found my two did eat more initially at nursery than home because they do more regular food breaks and they were not having as much breast milk. Can not remember about nappies but nursery will soon tell you if it falls into the loose 48hr ban 😵‍💫🫣
