my ds is almost 7 mos and has 3 meals a day plus 4 bottles (total about 24-26oz).

breakfast is baby rice (usually about 3 oz formula) and pureed fruit (apple, pear, banana, prune), lunch and dinner pureed veg (he eats potatoes, sweet pots, carrots, squash, broccoli, peas, parsnips, courgettes, sweetcorn) and i've just introduced finely chopped chicken.

he's not a particularly pudgy baby, has been 75th centile for height and 25th for weight pretty consistently since birth. he has nice meaty little thighs and chubby cheeks though!

now... the issue... he poops 4 or 5 times a day, sometimes more. this seems like a lot to me! sometimes if it's not much i think, fair enough, there's more to come but today for example he's had 4 poopy nappies so far and 3 of those were pretty substantial!!!

am i feeding him to much? he rarely turns away from food i usually give him what seems like a reasonable amount because it seems he'll eat forever sometimes! my other worry is that his body isn't digesting properly but i think it looks 'normal' if a little on the solid side sometimes. any advice?

sounds familar, some babies, some people do pooh more often than others. some save it all up for once a day. I'd rather ds was doing 4 poohs than 1 huge one IYSWIM
