Poop Time

Being a nurse I have seen poop of many shapes, colors, and sizes. Being a human I've seen my own poop and its many varieties. Yes folks, I fully admit to pooping. GASP.

Something I am not used to seeing is poop changing so often. Cash can go from rock hard marbles to squishy mush. If I can, I put him on the toilet at the first sign of poop. I've been doing this since he was about 6 months. When he is constipated its the only way he can poop effectively. It takes a lot of effort but it is worth it. If I can't get him to the toilet in time he can be miserable for a few days.

Since I have seen so many different kinds of poop from Cash I decided to do my research.

No worries mommies here is a link. I have found many sites that have answered my poop questions. Learning more about his poop and what is healthy and normal has helped me see how well he is eating. It's a good guide to gauge what he may be missing in his diet.

My advice: look at the poop. Don't just wipe it and dump it.

Good luck!
