A member asked:
Does asparagus make breast fed baby poop smell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: Asparagus metabolism makes ammonia. There is a lot of sulfer compounds in asparagus. No harm. Proof of the poop-is stop eating asparagus and see how long it takes infant's poop not to smell so bad. Ammonia also comes out in the urine and is kind of stinky too!
