Question
Why does a baby’s stool smell similar to diarrhea?
Answer
A baby’s stool may smell similar to diarrhea because of changes in the formula milk composition. When switching formulas, it should be done gradually to avoid a complete replacement at once, thereby reducing the baby’s gastrointestinal discomfort. Additionally, abdominal coldness may also lead to changes in stool consistency, so it is important to keep the baby’s abdomen warm.
