1-year-old baby stool frequency?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

In 1-year-olds, stool frequency varies widely — once a day to once every other day is normal. Some babies go 2–3 times daily, others once every two days — all of these are healthy.

What matters more than frequency is consistency and color. As babies move to solid food, stools usually become more formed and darker. If stools are hard, lumpy, or painful to pass (constipation), or too loose and frequent (diarrhea), that's worth addressing. For constipation, try more water and fiber (pear, prune, apricot). For diarrhea, watch for dehydration signs (sunken eyes, dry diapers for 8+ hours).

If you notice a major, lasting change in stool pattern, ask your pediatrician.
