A. Yes, it can be normal for some children to pass stool after every meal. This is known as the gastrocolic reflex, which is a natural bodily response where the stomach signals the intestines to move the contents after eating. For many children, this can cause them to have a bowel movement shortly after eating. However, there are a few things to keep in mind: Consistency: If the stool is soft or normal in consistency and the child isn't in pain, it's usually nothing to worry about. Frequency: If your daughter is passing stool more than 3 times a day and it’s causing discomfort or diarrhea, it could indicate an underlying issue like food intolerance or infection. Other Symptoms: If your daughter experiences other symptoms like vomiting, fever, or a significant change in her stool consistency (e.g., watery or hard stools), it's best to consult a pediatrician. In general, if she’s happy, active, and gaining weight appropriately, it’s likely normal. If you have concerns, it's always good to check with her pediatrician.
