Lots of poops after solids?

So DD usually poops every other day, but since we started her on rice cereal suddenly she is pooping 3-4 times per day! Its NUTS! The consistency/color doesn't seem any different so I don't THINK its diarrhea, but then again baby poop is always pretty runny anyway. Do you think this could mean she's having a "reaction" to the cereal?

I've always been told (by my pedi) that an allergy is usually shown either by vomiting or mucus or blood in the stool.  As long as she isn't having any of this I wouldn't be too alarmed.  It may just been her body's way of adjusting.  HTH!

my dd went from once a day to multiple times a day when I introduced cereal.  You should be able to tell if it is diarrhea because it is very very liquidity.  If you are concerned you could always call the pedi, but I am having the same experience.  she is formula fed though.  I asked my dad and mom (he's a dr., mom's a nurse) and they told me that she does not have diarrhea and that I would know.

Its all good. I posted on 6-12 how Jake was named a champion pooper for 4x in a day.

He's on 3 solids meals plus 26-30oz...

Sam poops 2x a day or 3x every other.
