How many BM's every day?

[rvamommy]

Ok, so I know this definitely varies from kid to kid but I'm just curious...

DD is 17 m/o and poops 5 or 6 times a day. And these are good size poops, too. Sometimes I feel like all I'm ever doing is spraying off a poopy diaper. Anyone else have a little one w/ frequent BM's?

My dc go 1-3 times a day.

Usually once daily, if he ate something like beans or had a lot of fruit, it could be more like 3x

[Honey693]

Once every day at 15 months.

DD was probably down to 1-2/day at that age, but 19 mo DS is 3-6x/day, not diarrhea, many (and often most) are pretty large. He's healthy and the Ped says not to worry, but scraping the diapers that many times gets old.

About 5 a week here, two a day on a few occasions because of diarrhea from swallowing a ton of snot (ewwww). If she's going that regularly, any chance you can tell before she goes and that she'd be willing to sit on a potty and have you sing songs or something while she goes? Even if you just had it work once, it'd help reduce your poopy diapers.

Also, if the poopy diapers regularly happen within 5-15 minutes of each other, I'd definitely hold her over a toilet or sit her on a potty after taking off the first poopy diaper (and wiping her down). When my 16 month old poops, she'll pause for a bit before bearing down again and pooping more.

On days when she has a poop, it's frequently more like 3-4 poops.

Oh, and I switched to watered down juice after a couple days with multiple huge poops. So do consider diet if there's a ton of pooping. For us, it wasn't a normal thing so it was important to change how we were handling juice (which had been my "lazy snack" now I cook an egg instead. )

DS is 17mo. Usually its 2 - 4x a day.

Yesterday ds went 6 times! Once in the middle of the night which ended causing a 4 hour wake up - ugh. Our doctor says it's a sign of a healthy digestive system.

[gbailey]

2-3 times per day.

[treegardner]

Once everyday or every other day.

[blizzard_babe]

Once a day when he's not teething. But DS is such a slow teether... he's pretty much been teething non-stop since he was six months old. He gets VERY drooly and snotty and it shows in his diapers.

[ShadowMoon]

1-2x each day

[tbone_kneegrabber]

3-7x usually around 3 or 4

[fancyoats]

once per day or sometimes she skips a day, depending on how much she has been eating.......

[Materfamilias]

Once or twice a day.

[StoriesInTheSoil]

About every other day or every third day even sometimes. If he decides to eat things that aren't carbs/starch then every day and sometimes a couple of times in a day.

Oh and DS is 17 months but doesn't reliably eat solids yet.

Mostly once a day but we skip about one day a week and occasionally there are two or three poops in a day. I find that something that helps a lot is getting her to the potty. If I take her to the toilet and encourage her to keep trying to poop she will go once a day and the quantity of poop is slightly alarming. (Where does she keep all that?!) But if she goes in a diaper she'll go three times that day. Erf.
