Breastfeeding newborn stool smells..?

Question

i was curious, my mom always complains that my baby's stools always smell so sour. I mean all the time. I agree. My baby is 1month2days now. Her p**p smells all the time. In the month, all I really ate was rice and chicken, and warm water. Towards the end of the month I have been throwing tiny bits of other foods into my system. I honestly want to think its been the brownies I have been eating in the last week, but even before I ate brownies my baby's stools have been sour smelling.

Also, my mother says that breast milk gets sour too, and that I'd have to dump the front milk out. Does anyone have a say at that part?

Answer 1

No, breast milk doesn't get sour. You don't have to dump the front milk out. That is absolutely ridiculous.

Breast fed babies have stool that smells different than bottle fed.  I'm sure he's fine but ask your doc if you are worried.

Answer 2

Mothers milk is the best feed for the baby even stronger than any green vegetables.In India no mother even thinks to stop feeding her milk to baby

Answer 3

okay first of all you mom is totally wrong about breast milk going sour. it is always perfect, that's just the way God made them. she may be confused because when we were all kids bottle feeding was the new in thing, and that can go sour. breastfeed baby stools do smell (but trust me it gets worse, my little one is 8months and it is horrible!) its probably all the rice and chicken, because whatever you eat she eats, and she probably need variety. try more fruits it should smell sweeter then. but dont stop breastfeeding its he best for them and studys show breastfeed babys are smarter then bottlefed.  

Answer 4

p**p smells.  Get used to it.

Answer 5

Breast fed p**p always smells worse.  But I think in general baby p**p just stinks and it just keeps getting worse as they get older!  Does she mean breast milk in your b*****s?  I have never heard of that getting sour!  I agree with you though, some things I eat does make the p**p smell worse!  Good luck!

Answer 6

how about stop smelling the p**p and get on with enjoying your newborn

Answer 7

p**p stinks. Period. As long as it's not a weird color or consistency than it's fine. And what your mom said LMFAO! That is so not true.
