Smelly gas
Hi,
My baby is 48 days old and she is having gas issue everyday and pooping around 15 times a day.
From past 2 days the poop is reduced to 1 time and the gas she is passing smelly. Is it normal or should I consult the doctor.
Baby is completely on breastfeed.
Thanks !

It is normal for the babies to poop many times in a day. If the baby gaining weight, passing 5-6 times urine, feeding well and alert then no need to worrry. If the baby is passing soft stool then smell is not a problem. Otherwise consult a pediatrician physically
