Smelly poop and farting normal for BF baby?

Question

FTM. My 5 week old baby girl has been having some smelly poo lately and watery. Not sure diarrhea or the norm. I thought breastfed poops aren't supposed to smell bad? Is this normal

Answer

Breastfed poop has a very distinct sweet smell to it. Also it is normal to have watery consistency. Yellow in color is also normal. If it smells fishy or not sweet and is more mucusy then it could be that babies tummy didn't like something you ate.

Answer

My baby is nearly 4 months old and her poo stinks. I only recently read that EBF babies poo wasn't supposed to smell. My partner and I was surprised. As for farting, yep she has always farted like a trooper. Not one for burping thou.
