How many times per day does your toddler poo? Sorry a bit tmi but I was under the impression that as they got older they might slow down to maybe 1-2 times per day. My little boy still goes on average 4-5 times per day and sometimes up to 8 times per day. He does eat lots of fruit which I think sometimes can make him a bit loose but is this normal? I go through nappies and wipes still like no ones business and always have to have a couple of changes of clothes with me because he still leaks through if I don’t change him quickly enough whilst we’re out. I suppose I should consider myself lucky that he has never been constipated, but being 30 weeks pregnant now I’m wondering with the new baby if I’ll have any time to do anything other than changing pooey nappies😂 also a little worried when it comes to potty training because he is so frequent that it will be harder/ there will be lots of accidents whilst out.

Twice like clockwork 🤷🏼♀️
Sorry I should throw in that my son also eats a lot of fruit. Like a lot lol

My little boy normally goes about 3 times a day - like yours he eats a lot of fruit. Maybe just raise it with your GP if you’re concerned?

Once a day. Sounds like he could have an allergy to something if it’s loose poo that many times a day. Have you tried to cut back on dairy and see if it improves? You can get dairy free yoghurts and use oat milk instead x

My son frequently pooped and was not always solid, it fluctuated which I believe was from having too much fruit. Also cut back on dairy. He does not seem to have an intolerance to dairy. Doing this helped solidified his stool which made potty training much easier and will go 1-2 times a day

1 and sometimes she skips a day

My son also goes anywhere from 2-6/7 times a day. Please don't worry when I say this as he was born with a birth defect and had 3 lots of surgery. He has lots of fruit and veg now to keep him regular but the pooey nappies are a lot sometimes! I am also worried about potty training as I'm not sure how much of it he can control and it will be hard as he goes so frequently.
I hope your little boy is okay, perhaps just speak to the GP for some reassurance.
Also best of luck with your pregnancy! Not long to go, we have a 5 week old and definitely don't think I could handle the potty training right now 🤦♀️ xx

Thanks all, an allergy had crossed my mind although he shows no other signs and I wouldn’t even know where to start with identifying what it could be. Maybe a trip to GP to see what they say x

As others have said, we think our son has a dairy intolerance as had very runny poo / leaking nappies. Much better now we’ve largely cut it out. Will try the milk ladder to work his way back up to having most dairy

we got referred to a paed who specialises in allergies etc. My son had no allergies from the tests. And they can’t test for intolerance. But speaking with them reassured me the runny poos are a sign, as is his dad not liking too much milk, some slight skin irritation etc. Recommend speaking to someone (and someone more specialised than a GP if they’ll refer you) as it can be hard to spot what is an intolerance
