#asktheexpert my baby boy repeatedly passes stools of normal consistently In very little quantity.. does he require potty training now?? or due to any other issues???

A. At this age, it’s common for toddlers to have frequent bowel movements, especially if they are consuming a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber. However, if your baby boy is passing stools in small amounts repeatedly, it may indicate: 1. Normal Variation: Some children naturally have more frequent bowel movements. 2. Diet: Consider his diet; a high-fiber intake can lead to more frequent stools. 3. Potty Training Readiness: If he shows signs of readiness (staying dry for longer, interest in the toilet), you can begin potty training. Recommendations: Monitor Diet: Ensure he is eating a balanced diet. Consult a Pediatrician: If you’re concerned about the frequency or consistency, consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues.
