What Causes Baby To Have Smelly Stools While On Antibiotics?
My baby is now 8 months old and is on cough and cold medications off and on for the past one month. Earlier his potty used to be yellow green and smelly, then on these medicines, it turned yellow red and now it is pure yellow, sticky, and very smelly. I have heard that infants do not have smell in their potty until they start having wheat. Where is this smell coming from and what does this mean?

Hello. I just read through your question.
It is not true that infants bowel movements do not have smell. Additionally, infant bowel move movements be normally be of any consistency. They do change while on antibiotic, so the change you have noticed is expected.
