When will baby's poop start to smell?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
Kind of a silly question, but I'm curious because we don't have a diaper pail and I'm wonder if/when we'll need a special trash can for his diapers. Since there's no smell to them now we just throw them in our regular trash. He is fed mostly BM, with just an ounce or so of formula a day if that makes a difference.

    I think it's supposed to get stinky when they start eating solids, but I don't know from experience, so take it with a grain of salt.

    We had to switch from BM to formula because I wasn't making enough, so about a week after he got on formula his poops started smelling. They have gotten gradually worse and he has the worst smelling gas!

    MY LO STARTED TO SMELL WHEN SHE STARTED TO DRINK MORE FORMULA THAN BREAST MILK..THAT WAS ABOUT 5-6 WEEKS. BUT I DONT SEE THE NEED IN A DIAPER PAIL, I THROW THEM AWAY IN THE TRASH AND NO LINGERING SCENT....AS LONG AS  U DONT JUST SIT THEM AROUND FOR DAYS U SHOULDNT HAVE A PROBLEM

    We are EBF (LO will be 2w on Friday) and I can tell you already- her poop smells.  It didn't used to, but then started to after I ate something garlicy- three days ago.  It isn't terrible, but definitely has that sulfur vibe.  So, I will be staying away from garlic for a bit, which stinks, because all DH cooks is garlicy stuff and who wants to discourage DH from cooking, right?

    DS's poop has always smelled (and bad smelly gas too), even when we BF. We don't use a diaper genie or pail or whatever. Just a trashcan with a trashbag. We do put the diapers in those little blue poop bags, tie them up, and throw them again. They contain the smell. We take the trash out once a week.

    I was told by a nurse in the hospital that most BF babies poop usually doesnt have a smell.  My little guys doesnt stink either and he is EBF.

    We FF, and DD's poop started to stink when she was about 6 weeks old. Now, it's a stinky, muddy mess every time she poops. Yummy....Ick!

    When they are mostly formula or eating table food.

     

    Also, even for my oldest 19months we just use our regular trash and take it out each morning(occasionally a tiny bit longer) and never have problems with the smell. And trust me, his poop WREAKS! : )

    Our diaper pail didn't smell until he started on solid food.
