Smelly neck ?

Question

So idk how ekse to put it but my newborns neck smells like sour ? Or just musky  lol ibathe him 3 times a week with soapy water and 1 day just water / rinse etc.  
Why would this happen?  How do I prevent it ? Has it happened to anybody else

Answer

It’s just milk or a slight yeast infection. Wipe out baby’s neck daily and powder. It’s normal

Answer

What worked well for me was I’d use a wet soapy qtip to gently clean in the neck folds and then make sure I rinsed really well

Answer

mine has it too. do you have to do anything besides wash it in the bath? i’ve always just thought it was milk

Answer

Yeast from milk getting trapped in the chub-chubs

Answer

Check those folds and see if his skin is irritated or red. Sometimes water from a bath can get trapped and he gets wounds. Or even sweat. Try to keep it dry. I applied the wound cream that was actually meant for his butt there and skin got better with no time. Of course after cleaning to remove the skin that had peeled off under the moisture.

Answer

Milk dripping down into his neck or just any moisture like drool being there. Periodically throughout the day and after feedings, wash and dry his neck.
