    Olivia's pooping has been out of control! Ususally you hear of kids getting stopped up for days, well, NOT Olivia. She poops NO LESS than 3 times a day. Sometimes it's 4 times a day (like today). The thing that is REALLY annoying...everytime it's during nap time and she will wake up early screaming. It doesn't hurt her, she's just crying b/c it's in her diaper and wants it out. UGH!!! I kid you not, she hasn't had more than a 45 minute nap all this week...but she still naps 3 times a day.

    This is driving me insane. The second I sit down to do something, she's crying, I chec her pants and they are filled...YET AGAIN.

    I need something to stop her up so she can get a good nap! LOL!!!

    Anyone else have a child that is constantly pooping?

    one of mine has been pooping 2-3 times/day since we started solids. i didn't even bother asking the pedi, but i imagine that it's normal. a lot, but normal.... btw, he doesn't usually poop while napping (sorry about that!) but he ALWAYS poops on a clean diaper. kids!

    at 2.5 my kids still poop at least twice if not 3 times a day - know what the pedi's answer was GOOD FOR THEM!! better to be regular that not...sorry it doesn't help your nap situation - my kids would sleep through their crap - but its good that she's going!

    My every 3-4 day boy Evan has been filling his diaper now about 3 times a day! Judging by that and the color, I'd say he is teething. Perhaps that is her issue too! :hug: I'm there with you! Evan only takes 2 naps a day though.

    My twins sleep through poops too. I have one that will wait until naptime to get a pull-up, relax and then poop and sleep through it...UGH!

    LOL...what color is Evan's? Well, might be different anyway b/c Olivia is formula fed and Evan is bf.

    I'm having the same problem. Since they started vegetables, mine have been pooping 3-4 times a day. At least one of these times is during the night, so they wake up crying to be changed. Ugh!

    The boys use to poop once a day...until solids...now three times or so a day...and yes for some reason, during a nap. I don't get it. lol Maybe it is b/c they are more relaxed...IDK.

    Mine usually poop a couple of times a day too, but it definitely increases when they are getting teeth (extra saliva irritating their tummies I guess). We've only dealt with constipation once and it was terrible. Poor M was shaking and straining... I'll take lots of poop over that any day.
