My 6 month old daughter has been going through the same thing. She also drinks Isomil. My doctor said she is ok and that as long as she is not dehydrated she will be fine. It is a relief to find out I'm not the only mom experiencing this.

Good to find this... My boy has pooped 6 times today, never has before....



Gonna try and cut out the fruit, except bananas for a few days...

Hi, my son is 6 and a half months, and I also am having this problem, has been pooing excessively for a few days now. I was giving him bananas and rice cereal in his bottle before bed, but I haven't in a couple days. I am getting totally worried.. I am glad to see you all have had this issue as well. He has gotten diaper rash pretty bad now, and today he screams bloody murder when I change his diaper. It has gotten to the point of bleeding a little bit. I feel so bad. I use Corn Starch, it is the only thing I have found that clears his diaper rash, I have used many creams and it never helped in the past. It is kind of weird though, he has not had diaper rash for a couple months now, and here we are with it extremely bad.. and he is still going potty excessively, which is not helping a thing. I hope he is ok.
