First off solid adult waste is still 75% water.

Babies not yet on solids have notoriously squishy doo doo’s. Milk still contains plenty of solids in the form or protein and fats, the baby will add more in organic biomass in the form of bacteria and archaea.

Solid parts of baby dumps are undigested fats, proteins, bacteria but there is still an awful lot of liquid in that “solid” waste.
