Smelly Farts
Hi all! My baby has recently had a change in bowel habits. She is only pooping like every other day or every two days. I read this is normal.
The issue is now she seems like she is really gassy and it causes her pain. Her farts smell terrible! Do you think it could be something I’m eating?? Poop looks to be normal color, maybe a little bit of mucus in it.
Any recommendations for something to give her?

My baby went from multiple times a day to once every 3 or 4 days and his farts are rancid now. But he doesn’t seem to be in pain or anything.
@Mandie I’ll look at that! I notice she is triggered by lots of garlic and onion so it could be dairy too.
@Shelby Dairy is literally in everything so just be sure to double check. The group I am in is “dairy-free diet - breastfeeding” and it’s been very helpful!

Hi Shelby. I was going through this. My son was only pooping once or twice a week. The color looked normal, but his poops were pretty mucousy. I ended up eliminating dairy from my diet and it’s helped a lot so far obviously that is pretty extreme but based on how he’s doing now versus before, I think it was well worth it.There’s some good Facebook groups about being dairy free.
