| 6 or 7 bowel movements in the last 24 hours Hi-my baby has had 6 or 7 bowel movements in the last 24 hours. They are not runny but regular consistency. My husband is at home with him during the day so he probably didn't watch while he used the bathroom(potty pad) but this morning I watched him and he was straining to get the bowel movement out so it was a pretty good size and according to my husband, all the ones from yesterday were sizeable. I have not changed his diet at all so I have no clue as to what is happening and why. He is his happy go lucky self so he isn't showing signs of being ill. I am just amazed that his little 5 lb body can produce all this..anyone have any ideas if something might be wrong? |

| I would bring a fresh sample to the vet to check. My Vet said the sample has to be less than 3 hours old when you bring it in. If it is going to be longer than three hours they said to refrigerate the sample. Best wishes.
