Fully with Dr. Richard. This is an exaggerated gastro-colic reflex which in present in all normal individuals. You will remember that as a small baby she must have done it frequently. As the child toilet trains, this will settle. Also rule out constipation because sometimes there is inadequate evacuation leading to accumulation of stools and increased frequency. Stop all junk food such as biscuits.

Yes it's quite normal. Some babies tend to have an exaggerated gastro-colic reflex, which means they have a tendancy to pass stools everytime food enters the stomach. This is normal and doesn't need any treatment, especially if baby is growing well and gaining weight.
