Need poop advice!

[Anonymous]

When I picked up Evie from the sitter today, she said to me, “Does Evie EVER have a solid poop?” She doesn’t, so of course I asked her if she considers Evie’s stools too loose and she said yes. I consider the consistency somwhere between a hearty chili and peanut butter (so sorry). Do you think this is too loose to have daily? She has had 1-2 stools regularly every day for the last few months so it’s not like she’s pooping all day. She has no other signs of intolerances. Her sleep is fine, no rash, no crankiness, no behavior issues, no bloated belly or gas, so can stools just normally be kind of loose or should I be more concerned?

personally, I think that’s fine…I’ve always thought ‘peanut butter’ is fine…

when jonah started to use the toilet, I found that ‘peanut butter’ actually formed into a ‘regular’ poop in the toilet…ok, yick, LOL!!!

Chili Peanut butter. I think those are fine. Does she ever have a poop that will mold to her bottom? I am asking b/c Cooper has these occasionally and to me that is a formed poop… kind of like peanut butter puttyish. Maybe the sitter is thinking she needs to have actual “terd” like poop? Seems kind of young to me for that… I think she is fine.

Now that my dd is FINALLY potty trained (thank God) I have noticed that the bm’s I always thought were really loose are actually well formed in the potty. As opposed to smashed to her booty in a diaper.

I would agree that they aren’t going to look formed unless she is on the toilet b/c they generally sit down or smash it somehow before they are noticed! Owen will have usually 1-2 per day and they are anywhere from chunky to peanut butter from brown to green. I say if there are no other symptoms, don’t worry about it.
