I have a quick couple questions. My son who is 3 months has very strong smelling urine, and when he farts it can stink up the whole place. Could it be the formula (good start concentrate) or his diapers (huggies). He is colic if that might have anything to do with it. He also only poops every 3-4 days and lately since he has stopped exclusively breastfeeding his bowl movements have been very liquidy and fill up the whole diaper. Please help im a young first time mom.
Hi, Everything mentioned here can be taken as normal and physiological if he is active and playful, accepting feeds well and passing urine normally (6-8 times a day). It is quite common to have some change in color, consistency and frequency of stool on starting formula feeds. If there is no much abdominal distension or vomiting, we need not worry. Changing more towards breast milk can offer some help. More frequent feeds can reduce smell of urine, as a concentrated urine tends to smell hard. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
