I never even realised this was a problem. My kid did sloppy poos for ages and ages. It didn't affect his weight gain or height growth at all. Admittedly when I stopped giving him oats in the morning and eased up on the yoghurt it improved, but it probably didn't change until the last few months, probably a bit over 18 months (I never really took note as to when it changed, I just figured it was part of the growing process). Most likely it changed when I started giving him really chunky food to eat.
I'm not overly concerned about Tristan, he's only 15 months, it's mainly Brendan who at 3.5yrs is still not doing a formed poo. They are testing both boys because they both have the same consistency poo and both are having weight gain issues.
Both boys are eating "normal" food - ie chunks of steak, ect I don't cut their food into bite size pieces any more, just small enough for hands to hold onto it Potatoes are the only thing that gets served mashed hehe.
Both my younger children do formed poos.
As for the black bits, do they eat bananas? My sister mentioned to me that her children get black bits in their poops after they eat bananas... I've not noticed it with my kids though and my kids have a banana at least every day.
Thanks Lisa x They do eat bananas but not daily, maybe every 2-3 days? I try and mix it up by having oranges, strawberries, pear, apple, kiwi fruit, ect.
