Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing
a sudden change from yellow pleasant smelling
breastmilk stools to orange foul smelling stools in an
otherwise healthy exclusively breastfed 14 week old?
The stools began abruptly a couple of weeks ago...the
stools were occurring about once a day, (as was his
stooling pattern at the time being a 12 week old), and
were watery as well. Now they are thicker and he is
stooling an average of every 2-3 days.....I can find
no significant history in talking to this
mother....she does eat carrots everyday....(I was
trying to think of everything I could!)
Her pediatrician told her not to worry.....I'm not so
sure....it's the foul smell that concerns me. The
mother has changed nothing in her diet, is not on any
medications, herbs, vitamins,etc. Help!
Thanks!
