It is normal for a toddler to poop 3 times a day depending on their diet.

Sometimes a toddler may only poop once or twice per day and sometimes the toddler may need to poop 3 times per day.

Then again some toddlers can go a few days to even a week without pooping and still be healthy.

As long as the toddler has pretty firm stools or poop then they are likely healthy.

If the toddler does not poop after a week then they may be constipated.

But it's very normal for a toddler to poop 3 times per day and even 4 times per day especially if they eat more fiber.

The more fiber they eat the more the toddler will need to poop.

The less fiber the toddler eats the less they need to poop.
