Hi, my daughter is soon turning 7months old after 4days.She started solid food little by little since she turned 4mos.old.And now she is pooping 5-6 times a day within 6days. I was just okay and think it is normal because she is started the solid food more than before.But now now I was wondering and a little worried if it still normal. And it because she has no stomach ache and she is happy everyday. What do you think you can advice to me. Thank you forward for the answer.

In reply to Meena. Hello Meena, yes, many babies poop a lot differently once food is involved. Many babies poop less often but some babies who digest things very rapidly will poop more often. Since you noted the poo is normal, just stock up on extra diapers!

In reply to Rahat banu. Hello. I am so sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the introduction of solids. You mentioned that she doesn't eat or drink properly. Unfortunately this could be due to so many things and we cannot provide medical nutrition guidance. I suggest that at this age you keep in mind that breast milk should be her main source of nutrition and not all babies start solids at 6 months. Some are just not ready. Please talk with her doctor about these concerns though. Good luck.

My daughter has been eating solids for about a month. We started her with oatmeal cereal and recently introduced avocado. Her poop has significantly changed. Instead of the bf color, she now has dark green poop. The smell is horrible and it’s a little runny. Definitely saw chunks in the poop as well. My only concern is the watery part. Mt husband makes fun of me for how closely I examine her poop. I got him back though because I caught him doing it too.

My wife is concerned our 7mo old daughter isn’t ready for Gerber 2nd Foods because her poop is significantly thicker. She’s a breast fed baby, she started 1st foods about 5 1/2mo old now she just turned 7 mo old. Am I wrong? I thought it was normal or is my wife right she’s not ready? She esta all 4oz of the 2nd foods in one sitting.

In reply to shahjida. Same thing is happening with my 8 month baby, as I have also started giving her semi solid food from 7 the month... I think her digestive system will take some time to mature...

My baby girl is 9 months old. From last few days she frequently poop in a day after her every meal. It’s not too soft but looks like she could not digest her food. But before that she had constipation problem. Her Dr told me to give her family food and I am following that suggestion. Her weight is almost 18 pounds. Is it normal? Which food can help her to improve her bowel movement? Thanks.
