My 15 months daughter passes stool 3 times a day. She started this habit last week. Before that she had passed her stool like after 2 or 3 days and that was hard.
She is active, healthy every thing is normal.
Could anyone tell me is it normal?

Not sure what the right tag for 'stool' is?– JoeApr 28, 2014 at 21:43

Children passing stool on a variable basis is not uncommon, and not in and of itself a reason for concern normally. Often stool changes are due to eating habits; for example, a diet high in fiber (veggies/fruit) will yield softer, more frequent stools, while a diet primarily consisting of meats and cheeses will likely yield infrequent, hard stools.
Two to three times a day is still well within 'normal'; both of my (13mo and 33mo) children are in that range. Both are pretty good about veggie/whole fruit consumption, and thus have pretty soft stools. When they eat more meat/yogurt, they become less frequent and harder.
That said, this is not a site for medical advice, so if you have some concern, you should certainly talk to your pediatrician.
