3 1/2 soft bowel movements for a week

For the last week DS has been having really soft bowel movements. Not diarrhea but the kind that breaks apart when you flush. (Sorry if TMI). No major changes in his eating and he says he feels fine otherwise. I'm only worried because he goes several times a day and that's abnormal for him. I might call our pedi Monday if no change but looking for your thoughts, ideas and experiences in the meantime. Thanks!

Re: 3 1/2 soft bowel movements for a week

  • I could be a but of a bug. DD had about 2 weeks worth of really loose stools (very fun when you are traveling!). If he is feeling fine I wouldn't worry about it too much. Depending on what his diet is back off on fresh fruit/juices and maybe even dairy for a few days. Have home consume starchy foods (whole wheat bread/pasta, rice, crackers, bananas) and that should help his stools. DD started after she had a gigantic bowl of shredded wheat (huge amounts of fiber) but it lasted for a good couple of weeks so it may have just coincided with a little bug as well.

  • Yeah he seems okay otherwise.  Once in a while he will say his belly hurts but sometimes I wonder if it really does or he is just trying to get out of eating (he isn't big on eating and we have to make him sit and eat a meal because all he wants to do is play).
