EBF baby's mamas!

flkong · August 2013

This is a little yucky but I thought breast fed babies didn't have smelly gas or poos until solids were introduced. My LO really reeks already. She let one go when we were in bed, I moved the covers and thought I did it but didn't remember. I know the smell changes but I don't remember it being this soon. I'm wondering if it's something I'm eating. I googled it but didn't get a definitive answer. Does anyone else's EBF LO smell bad already?

Yup, my baby girl smells like her father. It is really kind of funny.

My baby's farts and poop smell just like mine! Lol. I guess it makes sense we eat the same thing (via bm).

Haha @nkaeding about festering. My LO is stinky too!

I can smell when LO has a dirty diaper. It smells like the typical BM BM, but he also poops multiple times a day.

My LO's poop still smells sort of sweet. Odd but I read it was normal.

Yeah, LO just went 3 days without a BM, and yesterday it was a poosplosion that smelled so bad. Before when he went daily I thought it kind of smelled good, like cream cheese, lol.

Same here.

I've noticed the smell more now that she's only pooping every few days. At the beginning, they didn't smell. Now it's like they fester.

I thought that could be the reason too. She goes every 3-5 days so it makes sense.

It has always smelled awful! Thank goodness for the diaper genie since he poops many times every day. There is no way I would describe them as sweet smelling!

Yes, his poops still mostly have that BF baby poop smell but oy some of his farts smell like something died!! He has dairy/soy issues so I figured that was just his tummy acting up. I don't remember DD's smelling like that.

Lol...I can see the cream cheese comparison. We haven't had the sweet smelling stuff in a few weeks now.

this is E too. It's not too terrible but a definite scent....

We have noticed that the BMs actually stink now. (Seven weeks today.) The smells changed over the last two weeks. I have to remind myself not to say "eewww" to LO, they smell so poopy. And there are no more curds.

I read that their metabolism changes after week five, so I'm guessing that's probably why.

DD'a poops are very stinky! It surprised me too!

Jasmineeelizabeth · August 2013

I was wondering about this too actually, LO's diapers today smell different, sharper smelling.. That's the only way I can think to describe it?

Mine smells like chicken mcnuggets when she has a full diaper. I don't eat mcnuggets, but that's what she smells like. My weird girl.

I never go to McDonald's but I had a wild hair for nuggets and a smoothie the other day. When I opened the nuggets, I couldn't help but think that they smelled like baby poop! I'm glad I'm not the only one who made this connection
