My girl passes solid poop everyday for a week already and now second week already. I gave banana, prune, yoghurt etc. Tried everything. But doesn't seems to ease the situation. Give water after solid food. She still feeds and sleeps as usual. 8months old and on formula. Should I visit doctor or continue to give more water?

As long as it is not constipation I think it is not a worry. Solid poop is natural as they start on solids but when you say solid do u mean it is very very hard and dry? I will try to give lots of water and papaya . Or consider to change milk formula. Constipation must take note. Why I say so is because my gal had constipation problem a month plus back, she will poop about 3-4 days once and even if she does poop every other day the poop is so hard she will strain. I did not think of giving her any Med. But she had UTI two weeks ago. I feel hygiene wise we already did our best to change diapers regularly and when she poops I usually open out her diaper for her to poop so her butt isn't dirty too. There isn't wiping to the front. I read that constipation can increase risk of UTI as it affects the bladder.
