6 week old with seiously nasty smelling gas

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
My 6 week old son is VERY gassy but not colicky or upset by it, he just farts ALOT. The real problem is that his farts smell really, really bad. He is EBF and shows no other signs of digestive issues. I don't remember this with my others. Has anyone else had this issue? Should I be worried?

My Ds1 was always a really smelly baby - bad gas, and (later on) bad breath. We recently cut out dairy and he's no longer so smelly! It was an unexpected side effect, but I guess now we know why. So, my guess would be it could be a food sensitivity.

ETA... Ds1 never showed any other real signs until he started eating table foods and stopped sleeping... now he shows some behavioral stuff, though (he's 3 now), which is why we decided to try eliminating dairy.
