Daughter passes stools frequently
Hi! My daughter is 21 months old. She passes stools often, around 5-7 times in a day. Although it's not loose stools, I am concerned that most of the food particles come out via stools, like corn, carrot pieces, peanuts, etc.
Her appetite is good and she eats well but she's not gaining weight. Her birth weight is 2.8 kg and current weight is 9.3 kg. I am concerned that she might be having digestion issues. What precautions do I need to take? Please advise.

No need to worry. It’s called toddler’s diarrhea. Sometimes a foul smell also occurs. It has nothing to do with digestion.”
