Would you call the pediatrician?

Question

I’m a FTM and I tend to over worry but my baby has had diarrhea 3 times this week and only one normal poop. He seems fine though like not fussy, no temperature, etc. so I’m lost on if I should call his doctor? With COVID I hate taking him anywhere unless absolutely necessary. Wondering if other moms have a perspective?? 
Baby is 8 months and I haven’t introduced any new food to him that he hasn’t had already before

Answer

I wouldn’t call. If he’s not miserable and has no other symptoms it’s not abnormal to have a loose BM every now and then. No worries.

Answer

No. Now if it was diarrhea 3+ times a day that’s different but in a week is fine.

Answer

Diarrhea for babies is kind of different than for older people.  Poop can have mucus in it, it can be a sign he has had more hydration, maybe his body has started better digesting and using more of the protein and fiber and it can just simply be from teething and drooling.

Answer

Urgh he had another diarrhea poop so that’s 2 today. Still seems okay though

Answer

Solid 💩 in between or after the 3?
