My boy has several bowel movements a day?

Question

Hello, for about 3 days my almost 13 month old boy has been braying a lot of poop a day (no diarrhea). I'm wondering if this is normal? Could the teething have anything to do with it? He has 3 molars growing in. Is there a product or food that could help "constipate" him a bit? After how long should I be concerned about the frequency of bowel movements (about 7-10 per day). He doesn't have a fever, drinks and eats as usual and his condition is good. But I find it strange that he has so many bowel movements :-( it worries me. It seems that he doesn't digest what he eats.

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question! If there are no other symptoms, if your child is in good general condition and eating/drinking normally, there is no need to worry. No need to give him anything for this situation either :) Hopefully this has put your mind at ease, don't hesitate if you have any other questions!
