What Causes Increased Bowel Movements With Odor?

Hello, My son is 6 months old, i recently started him on solids gradually (rice, pears, apples, pumpkins) and changed his milk from a hypoallergic type to a follow on formula. Since 4 days though, I noticed he is having more bowel movements a day (used to be once a day, now its more of 2-3 times a day) and the stool is yogurt smelling. Should I be concerned? Thank you

Hi
welcome to HealthCareMagic
2-3 stools for a 6 month baby are normal, provided they are not large and watery , baby is active, passing urine normally , there is no blood in stool .Yogurt smelling of stool is normal. I do not think any reason to concern , take care.
Hope I answered your query
