Suggest Remedies For Loose And Smelly Bowel Moments In A Child
There is a boy that I take care of who just turned two. I have been taking care of him since he was 6 months old and have never seen him produce a solid stool. His bowel movements are always runny - almost like diarrhea, and smell like sour rotten olives. He is an IUGR baby who seems to eat normally and does not drink juice. Mom has mentioned the problem to the pediatrician at every visit and the pediatrician does not think it s a problem. However, the pediatrician has not seen this child s stools. I take care of him M-F.

He may be getting repeated infections. Have you given him rotavirus vaccine? I think his hygiene is not being maintained properly... Of the first things you should do is get rid of bottle feeding or use of any pacifier. The artificial nipples are warehouse of infection no matter how much boiling and cleaning you do.
