Need advice from seasoned providers! Toddler diarrhea issue

[Inspired by Reggio]

... However, I would NEVER collect a stool sample for a dck! That is totally not our job!

Ya I agree - while I had to do that in centre care at the request of the Health Unit - it is the parents job in THIS setting now ours

I am with the others though that at this age and stage 'loose' stools can still be normal for various reasons .... stress adjusting to a new setting, new foods, teething and so forth.

I have one who is two next month who has yet to have a solid poop here - he poops two-three times a day shortly after meal time and 'mush' ... now my guess he had a dairy intolerance too but the Dr says he is 'fine' so what can you do ... loose stools and exema sound fine to me .

Now if they were exploding out of the diaper and even MORE frequent than that than I would categorize it as diarrhea and excluding for sure.

This is also prime Rotavirus season so your own family could have contracted that in addition to this little boys 'normal but loose' poops.
