Question
How to Handle Baby Stool with Bad Odor
Answer
The bad odor in baby stool may indicate digestive problems, possibly due to undigested proteins entering the intestines and being broken down by gut bacteria. It’s important to introduce complementary foods. A six-month-old baby can start with soft foods like rice cereal, vegetable purees, and egg purees. Additionally, oral medications that regulate gut flora can be considered. Options include “Bacillus coagulans” or “Lactobacillus bulgaricus” supplements to help balance the gut microbiome.
