What Causes Strong Smelling Stool For Baby?
Hi, i have a 6 month old baby who passes his stool regularly but when he does, his stool REALLY smells. I am wondering whether the cause of it could be due to what i eat cos he is still breastfeeding (at night only). He has started on solids but I do not remember by other 2 children have such strong bowel smells when they were young. Is this normal ?

Good evening..!!
Its absolutely normal to have smelly stools.
You should be worried only if your baby becomes dehydrated / dull / not passing urine adequately etc.
Thank you, have a nice day..!!!
