The weight and height of kid is normal.Some kids have this gastrocolic reflex that when their stomach is getting food immediately the intestines are stimulated and they poop.They normally outgrow this by 3-4 years.
Food and fruits are good.
Just don't give too much added sugar or sugary juices as these can also cause child to poop more often
