Luke has always been pretty regular, 2 a day maybe. All of a sudden a few days ago he had diarrhea for a day or so, got a really red tush. The diarrhea went away but now he's still be pooping on average 4 or 5 times a day. He's like a little poop machine. His diet hasn't changed. Does it sound like anything to be concerned about?
As the Mommies to be will find out, it's all about the poops.

Re: TMI question, probably for toddler moms
You are right, it IS all about the poops.
I can't explain why his system is clearing itself out 4-5 times a day. If it were me I would call his ped. just to see if he can explain this. It seems like a lot for such a little body.
Hope all is well!!

Re: TMI question, probably for toddler moms
It doesnt seem alot to me. Does he have milk often? JOhn Anthony still loves his milk, and has it at least 2 times a day, sometimes up to 4 or 5, depending on how much he eats and with each bottle comes a poopy diaper without fail. So I can have 2-4 or 5 poopy diapers in a day (Not every day though)
Yep, its all about the poops

Re: TMI question, probably for toddler moms
totally agree it is all about the poops, however not unusual to go 4-5 tims a day
Since his diet hasn't changed, when he had diarrhea, did he take any medicine? That could still be flushing out his system. I wouldn't give it too much concern. It is better it comes out then stay in right

Re: TMI question, probably for toddler moms
MUCH better out ..than IN.. Take it from a mommy whose little girl suffers bouts of constipation.
Lately tho..she has skipped her 2 or 3x a day and saves it for ONE BIG HUGE MESS!!
Last 3 nights I had to give her a bath in order to clean her up sufficiently! ( I usually only bathe her 1-2x a week w/ her sensitive skin)

Ryan's not a toddler yet, but even so he has 4 -5 poops a day...once he got past the constipation when he was tiny, it's been that way all along...I agree better out than in!!
Also, here's something weird - the exersaucer is a guaranteed poop maker!! We now refer to it as the 'poopasaucer'...I swear he goes in and within minutes - we have poop..wacky!
Anyway, I agree it's all about the poop!!

Re: TMI question, probably for toddler moms
the only reason I thought it would be something to ask a doc about is has the 4-5 times a day just come on suddenly or has he been a 4-5 time a day pooper for a while? If you havent changed his diet why the sudden change in poppiness?

I have to agree with Karen on this one....I think if Lukie is normally a 1-2 times a day pooper, 4-5 times DOES sound like something's up. And, if it's diarrhea, than it sounds like he may have a stomach bug OR could be teething again....sometimes teething can cause diarrhea.
Is my son the ONLY child on LIW that only has a BM once a day? He has gone 2x a day on occasion, but that's a rarity!

Re: TMI question, probably for toddler moms
I was thinking along the same lines as you too Karen.
Claud, no it was diarrhea for 1 or 2 days, now it's endless poop....
