Can we talk poop for a minute?

We haven't discussed poop since the newborn days, but I find myself wondering, what should T's poop consistency ideally be now that he eats like a normal person? On days when I notice they are a little harder, I give him more raisins, but then I wonder if it should be harder and not pasty anymore. I don't know. And I don't really want to ask Dr. Google.

I have been wondering the same thing. When I did a Google search the best guideline I could find is if you can 'roll it' they are constipated.

DD"s are not logs but I do not know if that is because half the time she is running around not letting me change her and sitting in it.

according to an article by a pediatric urologist: toddler poops should be mushy, "like mashed sweet potatoes or hummus."

"If your child's poops are formed, like logs or pebbles, your child is constipated"

DS's are usually a mushy/pasty blob as described above. and oh god, the smell.
