16 month baby boy poops 3 times a day
Hi doctor
My 16 months old baby boy has no teeth
& has started pooping 3 times a day from past 4 days.
We give him calcium syrup for teeth.
He takes very less solid diet and 125-150ml animal milk 3 times a day still he poops this much.
The stool is normal and soft not like loose motions.
is it normal for him to do that much potty?
BW : 3.4kgs
CW : 9.2kgs
Thanks

Most babies have an active gastrocolic reflex that causes them to have a bowel movement immediately after eating — or even while eating — for their first few weeks of life. This is especially true for breastfed babies and is perfectly normal
