A member asked:
My baby is 12 weeks old.. she farts often and fart will be smelly. ..is it a good sign?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wives' tale: Am guessing someone told you baby-poo does not smell. That is 1/2 jest and 1/2 "my kid is better than..." if he/she is feeding well, active as usual, and peeing/stooling as usual, then not to worry. If the above change, get check with pediatrician.
