It’s absolutely normal; it’s normal to poop a little more than usual as u r giving fibrous diet to your little one. Do avoid juices completely till one year of age. Try not to give textured semi liquid food rather than paste like. Your little one needs to chew at this age which is very important for their food habits n development
