Baby poops immediately after meal
Hi doctor, my 10 months 25 days old baby is having 3 solid meals in her routine like oats, dal rice, fruits, daliya and 150 ml milk before 1.5 hours of dinner. Also she is having 150 ml milk before bedtime ( after 3 hours of dinner) and during midnight after 5 hours 120 ml on demand. She poops 3 times a day, first in the morning as soon as she wakes up, and then immediately poops after finishing her lunch and dinner. Is it normal? Poops are ok, it's not watery.

gastrocolic reflex is very normal in children.
in this phenomena the child is having semi solid to solid stool after every episode of of food intake.
if the growth of the child is proper there is no need to worry about this phenomena.
it is also advisable to continue curd buttermilk apple and banana which will help in proper digestion of food.
usually this phenomena decreases with increasing age of the child
