My toddler poops 2-3 times a day, is this normal?

Every child has a different “schedule” when it comes to bowel movements. Some have one every day, some once every few days, and some a few times a day. Instead of being concerned about the frequency, it is more important to look at the consistency of your toddler’s bowel movements. The general guide is that your child’s stool should be of a reasonable amount that is rather soft and would not cause any bleeding. Small, hard, ball-like stools may be signs of constipation, and runny, frequent, watery ones could be signs of diarrhea. The former could be due to milk (or other diary products) in your child’s diet. Substitute some milk with juice or water could help ease constipation. As for diarrhea, it is often related to stomach virus. Ensure that your child is having sufficient fluid intake to prevent dehydration. Also avoid sugary drink. Water, milk and small amount of “soft” food may help. You can refer to this article for more information: http://www.thebump.com/a/how-often-should-toddler-poop
