Baby never did stool without help stimul with qtip now 8 month old allways soft stool could this be outgrown or more serious problems the cause ?

Patience: If you trigger an emptying with anal stimulation you may be preventing the kid from developing a natural pattern. Triggered emptying can empty so much that the kid would naturally skip a day.Leave it alone for a while (days)& see if the kid can develop a simple pattern.Otherwise this will continue indefinitely.
