Would you call the pedi?
DD, my 2.5 year old, has been having 3-4 bowel movements a day for about the past week. She's usually a 1 some times 2 a day pooper. The are all pretty soft dispite the bananas I've been feeding her. Normally if I were to feed her a banana she wouldn't poop for 3 days. Nothing has changed in her diet and she doesn't seem ill. She has two second year molars that aren't all the way in yet so she may be teething (I caught her chewing on her crib the other day).
I have heard that teething can cause soft stools but she has all of her teeth and she's never had that happen.
Yesterday she pooped in the morning, at the beginning of nap, at the end of nap, and one at bedtime - all soft. Would you wait it out a little longer or call the pedi? Of course this happens right AFTER she has her well visit.
Re: Would you call the pedi?
Oh, that's interesting. How long did it last? She will only poop in her bed, so it's really interrupting her sleep.
I just called the ped yesterday for M's (28 months) 3 day bout of diarrhea. Since it was only happening once a day and M did not have a fever nor have signs of dehydration, she did not need to be seen.
If it persists more than a week, I was told to bring her in even without other symptoms.
Nurse recommended BRAT diet and switching her to 2% while she is sick (M is still on whole milk for weight gain).
