WCM= more frequent BM's?

I've been gradually transitioning my daughter off of formula since she was around 11.5 months old. She struggled with sippy cups then so I mixed WCM with her formula in a bottle. We're at the point where it's predominantly WCM in her bottle (because she doesn't like drinking it out of a sippy cup, which is a whole other struggle, even though she can use a straw one now.) But, I've noticed that now she poops a lot more than she used to. It used to be once every other day or occasionally daily, but the past couple weeks, she's been going more than once a day. A few days recently she's gone up to three times in a day, with a couple of them being watery. It's unusual for her. Could it be the WCM? She probably drinks about 23 ozs of formula/milk a day with about 6 ozs of that being formula. Is 17 ozs too much WCM in a day? As far as food goes, she eats the typical cheese, fruit, veggies, chicken. I wouldn't think anything out of the ordinary and certainly nothing new that she hasn't eaten since she started table food. I have a call into her pediatrician, but was wondering if anyone else experienced this with their toddlers. TIA.

Re: WCM= more frequent BM's?
DD had a couple week period around 11-12 months where she was pooping 4 or 5 times a day instead of the usual 1 or 2. I am not sure if for her it was because of WCM or simply transitioning to eating more solids.
We are now back to regular pooping.
We had/have that issue too. I actually stopped with the cows milk for a week or so and her poops when back to normal. So here we are again, slowly transitioning. We do a cup of formula and WCM moxed together 2xs a day. It probably is about 3 oz formula and 3 or 4 oz of WCM each time.
I was also told no more than 16 oz and to try to get dairy in their diet other ways.... yogurt, cheese etc.
We cloth diaper.... so these poop messes have bee super fun.
