I live overseas so it's not easy to communicate with doctors here, thought I'd start with you guys.?

?Okay so I can't remember the last time that my 15 month old son has had a firm dirty diaper, it's not diarrhea but it's just a giant mess everytime and at least 3 a day... ?am I feeding him too much or something? ?And if he eats peas, they come out the other end, fully intact, is that normal?

This is his general diet: ?(he eats soft meats, cause that's what he'll eat, like meatloaf, meatballs. ?He doesn't drink milk so I have replaced it with yogurt, I have weaned him from bf except for once before bed and one early morning.)

?breakfast- oatmeal with apricot and yogurt?

lunch- whole wheat pasta w/ tomato sauce and beef meatballs

?snack- banana, piece of cheese

snack- yogurt (replacing milk)

Dinner- chicken meatballs, carrots

snack- yogurt (replacing milk)

bedtime nurse- bed

5 a.m. nurse?

Your list seems pretty normal to me.  I really don't know.  My normally solid-idy pooper started having those type of messy diapers about a couple weeks ago, but only about 3x a week (others were normal).  My mom was around once and I asked her if it look diarrhea and she said no.  It must be something with what they are eating.  

Nastily enough, Similac has a "diaper decoder" with pics of poopy diapers and lets you know what is normal and what's not.  I checked this and it was totally normal.  Made me feel better.  You may (yuck) want to check it out.

My doc says it's normal.  DS NEVER has formed poops.  they're always a soft mess.
