Is it normal for my baby to poop while eating?

Yes, this is a very common occurrence in infants, often linked to the gastrocolic reflex, which triggers a bowel movement when the stomach is stretched by food. For most children, this reflex becomes less dramatic and more regulated as they approach their first birthday. If your baby is nearing this age, you can expect this behavior to naturally taper off as their digestive system matures.
