Accepted Answer

? colic, ? formula: First, you are describing perfectly normal stool force 3 month old . Nothing to fear there. Next, what do you mean "seems to have cramps"? What exactly are you noticing that leads you to believe that. If he's extra gassy, has any blood in stool, could be a change in formula needed.Infant could also have colic, there is no good proven treatment for that except time. Please discuss with pediatrician

Question 3

my son age 4 has just recently begun "playing" in poop while on the potty. he gets it on his hands, spreads it on the seat and things nearby. why ?

Accepted Answer

Exploration: Kids explore their world including poop. They do not have an automatic taboo to playing in poop until you teach them. They may explore its texture as artists as they would any other spreadable item. You have teaching to do. I don't automatically think the kid is nuts.

Question 4

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Grunting: If she is grunting all day this could be a breathing problem. If it is related to passing stool dilute apple juice or extra water in her diet may help. The bowel is like every other muscle, it needs to learn how to work. All the best.

Question 7

my 3yr old daughter is potty  trained but sometimes has accidents (poop)  when she does she plays in it and smires it into the carpet and all over her dressers  why does she do this and what can i do to stop her?

Accepted Answer

She is mostly....: ...But not completely potty trained.  She, like many her age, gets busy. When she's having fun she doesn't like to stop what she's doing.  Talk to her about it gently; let her know you don't like it, and that big girls don't do that.  Then clean her up, change her clothes, and praise her a lot when she does it right.

Question 9

why is my babies poop white with green?

Accepted Answer

See a Dr.: Depending on the age of your baby, this could be a serious thing. White, chalky grey or yellow stool can be caused by a gallbladder problem called biliary atresia. Call your baby's Dr for a thorough Exam and bring an example of the stool so that the Dr can see the color, consistency and any additional findings.
