My son has diarrhea and its like water and smells bad, he had this before and the doctor switched him to soy milk. his diet hasnt changed.help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diarrhea: Due to the bad smell, i recommend a culture of the stools be done. Soy formula is now shunned as a substitute formula. If your baby really needs a formula change, try another one that is not soy-based - gentlease, similac sensitive, nutramigen, etc.
