A member asked:
Is it normal for my 8.5 month old baby to poop 7 times or several times a day?.. poop is not much. she is formula fed. she is lively and do not look and does not act sick?

Completely normal: Infants can produce stool few or many times per day. Each child has their own normal. At 8.5 months, your baby should be receiving not just breastmilk, but should have already started on soft, pureed vegetables, fruits and cereals. As more solid food is introduced, you may see a firming up of the stool and therefore fewer stools per day.
