A member asked:

Hi, my baby is now 1 year old and poops after every meal/drink (almost 5 times a day) the consistency of the poo is normal. is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be: There is a basic process called the gastrocolic reflex.It is a wave of stimulation that sends a "move on" message to our gut after we take a volume of material into our stomach.The reflex may or may not trigger an emptying, but it is part of normal digestive action. You possibly reduce the frequency of emptying by adding some cereals or bananas to the diet.Plums/prunes/apple juice give more stools
