DS poops ALL the time

[xobehs]

He will poop 6 or more times a day. They are solid poos, not the runs or anything. At 21 months I am growing tired of changing 10 stinky diapers a day.

Seriously, boy, can you just take a DUMP and get it over with?

[babymakes4]

6 times seems like a lot. Is he still nursing alot? what is his diet like? Does he drink a lot of juice?

[Teresa64]

Yea I have never say a child that old poop that much. Except one but all he drank all day was capri suns(nasty) and a swear had the runs all the time.

yeah, maybe he is allergic to something? My nephew pooped a LOT around that age too, and it stoped once we figured out he was allergic to apple juice, which is pretty much contained in all juices.

My ds would get loose stools from apple juice, too. Actually, he still does if it's straight a.j. You'd be surprised how many different 100% juices contain a.j. as their main or secondary ingredient.

We use white grape. It does better for ds's stomach.

Juices are EVIL. My neither of my kids can handle them. Especially 100% juice. Sad thing is I would rather give them koolaide then Juicy Juice. Better on their tummy.

we do flavored water too, the sparkling kind. They think its soda and Im ok with that :hugegrin:

Meh, just stop feeding him. That stops the pooping.

(totally j/k, btw)

LOL!

My DS poops way too much as well, except he's about 3 times a day. They aren't very solid though. He only gets a little juice each day and its green or blue goodness. Otherwise he's drinking rice milk or water. Wish he'd go to once a day or poop train.

[xobehs]

DS isn't really a juice drinker either. 3 cups of milk per day and water

[HammBugga]

That would drive me insane. Neither of my boys poop every day. J only goes 2-3 times a week and B goes prolly every other day.

maybe it's the milk? does he eat a lot of dairy? Maybe it's nothing and he just poops a lot. :)

You need a pooper scooper for the boy!

[Teresa64]

Is he just one of those kids that hold it in all day and it only comes out a little at a time. I have heard of that b4.

[Camille]

Probably TMI, but I poop at least twice a day. Some days as many as five times.

Kiersten had chronic toddler diarrhea from age 1.5 until about 6 months ago (3.5 years old). Most kids aren't actually allergic to juice, it's just that the sugars cause the runs. At first the doctor thought that is what was going on with Kiersten, but she had never had juice at that age (we don't introduce any juice until age 2). She had a full workup and nothing came up.

There is actually a condition called Chronic Toddler Diarrhea. It sucks because there is not cure, but it also causes no long term problems. I changed a LOT of poopy diapers in two years. It also delayed potty training because she had diarrhea so often that she lost her sensation for peeing and pooping.
