Usually 5-6 but sometimes 7 or 8. He eats a ton. He also eats a lot of fruit. The pedi says it's fine since he's always been that way. You can bring it up but chances are it's normal
At our worst we were at 12-15x/day. That lasted around 2 months @-)
Lately....drumroll....TWICE! Sometimes ONCE! Sometimes 3x. A couple weeks ago he was back to 6x, but lately he hates food so :-bd
I would say 5-6x could be totally normal if it's always been that way and you don't seem to have other issues, but it couldn't hurt to mention it if you're concerned.

This kid may not have a lot of bowel, but he has plenty of guts! DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome. 131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.
Maybe 1x per WEEK. We are on daily miralax and nothing helps. He's miserable and I know something is not right. I keep pushing my doctor but he won't really listen. We have a nutrition appointment next week so I'm hoping that helps or it's an in to get the right help.
There is no usual...we still have some days where there is no poop, some days where it's 1, some days 3-4 or more. It depends on what he's been eating. LO LOVES bananas, I have tried to limit him to 1/day (though he asked for them all the time). If I notice his poops have been infrequent and hard I really push other fruits and yogurt and more water. Sometimes I think I overcompensate.
Re: CPW - how many times a day does your toddler poop?
Used to be predictable, every day during breakfast, but not any more.
