Large Bowel Movements
Dear Helen

I have an odd question. My dear son at 14 months has for a long period of time, in fact for several months, had 3 - 6 large daily bowel movements.

My question is whether it is normal. I have started thinking whether he gets nutrition enough from the food when he moves his bowels so frequently.

He eats quite well. 86cm long, approx. 14kg.

The stool consistency is normal. I would just like to know what is normal.

Best regards
Karoline
