POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. Pooping 3-4 times a day in a 14-month-old baby is generally normal, especially if:
✅ Baby is active and happy
✅ Poop is soft and well-formed (not watery or very hard)
✅ No signs of dehydration (no dry lips, normal urine output)
Possible Reasons for Frequent Pooping
1️⃣ Teething – Some babies poop more during teething due to extra saliva swallowing.
2️⃣ Diet Changes – New solid foods, more fiber, or dairy intake can affect digestion.
3️⃣ Mild Stomach Sensitivity – Some babies have a sensitive digestive system.
4️⃣ Infections – If poop is watery, has mucus, or smells very bad, it may indicate a stomach infection.
5️⃣ Food Intolerance – Certain foods (like dairy or gluten) may cause more frequent pooping.
When to Worry?
🚨 If poop is very watery, foamy, or has blood/mucus
🚨 If baby has fever, vomiting, or bloating
🚨 If baby is losing weight or has poor appetite
🚨 If poop is greasy and foul-smelling (sign of malabsorption)
If none of these symptoms are present, it’s likely normal. You can monitor diet and hydration. Let me know if you need diet suggestions!
