My 8 month old boy, goes more often than my 1 1/2 yr. old female...I think they just go more, when they're younger...I think I might be feeding the younger one, more than he needs, but he's such a little piglet, and has me convinced, because he's a growing boy, that I must feed him this much, for now ...I feed raw, but I think it's the vege/fruit treats that I give them, that keeps them "moving" lol...Sounds like your baby might be getting more than she needs, since she's after your other one's food...Have you tried not free feeding, and then maybe she'll go bigger, after two meals, instead of nibbling all day?
