Jack used to be a one dirty nappy a day boy but for the last couple of months he has been going more often, sometimes 3-4 times a day. They are really soft and have a horrid almost sweet smell although every now and then they will be firm for a day or so. About a week ago he had 3 dirty nappies in about 3hrs, all soft and I could tell by the contents that it was the night before's dinner. I mentioned it to the doctor but she didn't really say much although I did have to drop a sample off at the labt that tested for giardia, worms and all sorts of other things but that came back clear.

So after all that my question is does it seem right that they are soft all the time and does it seem really fast to anyone else that he processed his dinner in about 12-14hrs (and overnight)?

Campbell's much the same, 3-4 dirty nappies a day is pretty normal for him, and they're usually fairly soft - not runny by any means, but not well formed. And he frequently has his previous evening meal in his overnight nappy by the morning! I assume that he just has a fast metabolism, but I really don't know how normal this is for the typical toddler.

Callum usually goes twice a day - straight after breakfast and straight after dinner. The morning one often has last night's dinner    and tonight's tea time one had his afternoon tea raisins. Nice. His are usually pretty soft too, he rarely strains or goes red when he's doing a poo (I don't actually recall him ever doing that). They're not explosive or actually runny though so I think they're fine ....

has he got all his molars? could he be teething?

Has he been eating more fruit or something different? More fibre?

When our boys had a tummy bug their poos were not sweet smelling...they were just plain disgusting!!!

He has had all 20 teeth since he was 2 so not that, he does eat a bit of fruit tho. OK so it sounds like it could be pretty normal, will stop worrying then, thanks

Chloe usually goes 3-4 times a day, all quite soft, too.

I just put it down to her eating heaps of fruit and vegies!

If he consistently does it with one particular type of food that you can recognise then the chances are he can not actually digest that food. Best to eliminate it from his diet so his tum isn't working harder at that food.

Caden has just come out of a patch like that, he was pooing up to 5 times a day and it was disgusting runny gross smelling stuff and he had wicked nappy rash cos he just kept pooing!

He also had the same thing this time last year and he was cutitng his first teeth, so I think he is getting some more molars and his K9's as he wasnt sick, he ate like normal and was happy, just the poo was gross.
