Hello. Welcome to HCM. Don't worry. A breastfed baby can stay also for a maximum of 10 without any pooing and that is normal because breast-milk is easily absorbed and that is what makes breastfed babies to poo not frequently. The smelly fart does not indicate any thing that you should worry.Maybe it's something that you have eaten. With time and introducing solid everything will change.
