Daycare/Poop Question

mrs. hoelle

DS just started daycare last week.  I only work part-time, so he is only there 2-3 days for about 6 hours at the most.  He always poops once a day; very very rarely will he go more than that.  Everyday he goes to daycare he poops two or more times and they are always a little more runny than normal.  Is this something to be worried about?  Does the extra stimulus there affect babies in that way, since home is more mellow than daycare.

Is he maybe not "finished" when they are changing him?  Also, how do you know that his poops are different?  Are they familiar with what a young infants bm's look like?  My dd did not have this issue, however the first time the teachers saw her stool, they were shocked, because she is ebf and her stools are always runny.Good luck!

I failed to mention that he poops once at daycare and then one or more times when we bring him home.
