Is It Normal To Have A Odourless Bowel Movement?
My 6 month old has had odorless bowel movements for 3-4days now, he started squash and carrots on Sunday. I was wondering if this is an issue? He has been doing rice and oatmeal for about a month ago and has been fine with that. I have breast fed him since he was born.

Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Odorless stools are not necessary.
Usually stools are foul smelling because of some infection in the stools.
Odor of the stools are produced because of the bacterial putrefaction and some byproduct of the meals we take.
Hope nothing to worry regarding this symptoms.
thanks
