thanks for your replys am trying the less fliud 1 at the mo see if that helps, but as for putting weight on and  being well in herself shes doing brill !! so am not to worried just not looking forward to the potty training (pebble bash)  not good  

My dd has loose poos too & goes up to 4 times a day lol!!

She can't have weetabix as it goes straight through her & she gets instant nappy rash.  So she could have a slight intolerance to wheat.  I have spoken to 2 different docs & they have said as long as she is putting on weight & healthy etc then they don't worry about it.  The other thing one of them said is that although it could be a slight intolerance to wheat it could also be the result of the fibre!

Dont know if this is any help.  My lo sometimes has this problem on days when she has had loads of fruit and veg.

Toddler's diarrhoea

Toddler's diarrhoea is a diagnosis of exclusion when all other diseases have been excluded. It is very common in children between the ages of 1 and 5 years of age and is of no consequence. It simply is a reflection of the increased speed of transit of food going through the gut. As long as the child is growing well and has a good appetite and no other symptoms then this is most likely to be the diagnosis. It also goes by the name of "Peas and Carrots syndrome" where often food particles are seen in the stool and up to 5-6 loose bowel motions per day can occur. Sometimes it can be helped by decreasing juices in the diet, increasing the amount of fat and decreasing the amount of fibre. It is rare for any anti-diarrhoeal agents to be used in children as they are associated with side effects and are not promoted for this reason.

lol I posted this exact thread about a week ago - Elsa has baby poo still and it gives her really bad nappy rash. We ended up at the Dr's last Monday and he gave me something to deal with the nappy rash and said some babies just have much looser poo than others and not to worry.

DD has that when she drinks lot of milk. Breakfast is half bottle with a cookie and a piece of fruit but sometimes she ask for more milk and if at mid-morning ask me for milk again (very rarely) in the afternoon she has runny poo and 2 or 3 times.

But if for example it is a weekend that we have done a bbq, I just said in another threat that she loves meat and in a day she eats lot of meat and mainly meat and chicken, her poo is "normal" (ynwim)

Any sandwich and if I give her bread in the breakfast instead of the cookie it is always brown/wholegrain bread, the fibre content is higher and make them digest better and poo is not that runny.

So I think, less milk, more fibre and more protein, but I am not an expert and I may be wrong.  That is what it works for DD.
