The answer depends on who you ask :) After two years of reading all things poop I have to respectfully disagree with Jessica. What is taught in western medical school and what is observed by naturopaths, and other holistic doctors is night and day different. Baby's move their bowels after they eat. This is NORMAL. But due to society's conventions, we hold our poop and a lot of things happen such that we dont go as often anymore. We also bulk up on fiber that we dont need to move our stools etc....The conventional wisdom in the holistic world is that once a day is KEY, if you can go after meals, more power to you! Less than once a day is not optimal. A peak at the Bristol Stool Chart #4 and #5 will tell you what your stools should look like and given we all eat too much fiber, most people look more like a 2 or 3 on the chart. For more reading on this go to gutsense.org. His thinking is penetrating the holistic world. There is a lot of other reading about poop if anyone is interested, let me know LOL

Mimi you are so right, but I was just going to tell her a bananna.... that's what mine look like anyway, and yes, the more the better. I just check the chart, 4m looks normal to me!

4 not 4m
