Does the mom recall whether she ate any fish? Just curious as I noticed a
very distinct fishy odor from my daughter's stool whenever I ate fish
(especially salmon) during the time she was exclusively breastfed. I'm
guessing my milk must have been rather fishy-tasting, presumably also
fishy-smelling. (Fish fishy not weird fishy. ;-) )
