Toddler loose stools

Toddler's chronic diarrhea is more common than you'd think!

@Alice what do I do? Do I do anything? 😂 as I said, her diet is pretty good and she doesn't touch sugar apart from fruit, yogurt and occasional oat bars.

One thing that works for us is banana! Banana 'binds' the offending 💩. Just careful how much else it goes the other way and that's almost as unpleasant x

It’s funny i was going to do a similar post and decided nah. At this age what is their poo meant to be like? Fully formed? All the time? Because my son’s poo is pretty much the same as when he started weaning.. like a real thick puree with bits of food in it! Occasionally it’s an actual formed poo but very rarely! Sometimes it’s incredibly loose. I thought it was down to teething as he has moments of it being acidic too but lately it just stays as this paste I described above.

Lower fibre/sugar intake and increase fats

@Alice so does that mean laying off the vegetables for a while? And could you give examples of some meals I can do? Because other than using olive oil which I do already I don't know how I'd add more fat to her diet she can be quite picky (doesn't like eggs or fish) x
