I just add it's about my DS2 . Not very appetizing subject
He's almost three now. And as long as we remember he's been pooping often, and I mean REALLY pooping often. As an infant, we often had to change him 10-12 times daily. And it evolved into less frequent bowl movements, but that has been 6-8 daily for a very long time and now still he's pooping between 2-6 times daily. I can't recall how many poopy diapers we've been changing, how many buttocks we've been cleaning...
When we got him home as a newborn after an 8 day hospital stay we got him back with a horrible rash (that developed thrush) and had him in a lot of pain with every change. Poor baby. The treatment with gentian violet finally cured it, but it took us weeks to get rid of the wounds/rash and the redness and the pain. He was exclusively breastfead untill 6 months of age and we introduced solids very slowly.
He's still breastfeeding 2 times daily. The poop is often soft and mushy (not liquid), sometimes a little 'sandy' and VERY smelly too. Often hard to wipe, too.
And you can imagine that by now he really LOATHES to be changed after a poopy diaper, and getting wiped. And well, we feel like we've had our share too (my hands are often smelly even after washjing up to 5 times after a diaper change
).
He's not really telling yet when he's ready to go to the toilet, and regarding his still very frequent pooping I do not find it the right time (yet) either.
(His brother around that same age had about 1, max 2, bowel movements daily).
Ds2 has had sporadic rash/eczema on the cheeks but not severe. For example from spinach.
I don't know. It only occured to me recently (I know
) that maybe his frequent-out of the normal- pooping is not just his bodily 'system' but may be due to food intolerance/allergies/or a certain condition??
Anyone else with a child with similar 'issues'?
