Stinky, wet poos! - Infant Care (up to 18 months old) Message Board

DS has never had stinky poos, lately they have been horrible! Not only stinky, but wetter than normal. He is breastfed, so they are wet always, but I can definetly tell a difference. Any idea why?

Ha Ha! We have been having this too. We started cereals about 3 weeks ago, and her diapers are now starting to change slightly from that...but I do know what you mean...every once in a while even before the solids I'd get some crazy diapers now and then. I just chalked it up to growing up, body system changing, and eliminating what her little body didn't need at that moment.

Just last night, my husband changed a crazy diaper that he described as "foamy...almost carbonated". Too funny.

That's so funny Gayle!!! I'm laughing my butt off

My DS is breastfed too and I have noticed that some of his diapers are stinkier than others. I'm not sure why!!

Its so bad, if someone else is holding him when he goes, they hand him off immediately! DH says its me stinking up the room! He doesn't think a little 2 mos old could do something that horrid!

has your child always been like this or just recently? DH's cousin had some sort of digestive problem as a young child -- later outgrew it, but his mom talked about horrible nasty smelling foamy green stools. Had all kinds of tests and finally she gave him rice cereal with banana and that seemed to sort of stabilize him. Of course in this situation, the child also had failure to thrive (wasn't gaining any weight) and they were concerned it was celiacs or CF.
