Smelly nappies

One of the most surprising things about a newborn, especially a breast fed one is that their poo's don't  smell. This was a pleasant surprise as I was expecting to need a gas mask or strengthen my gag reflex to change a nappy. 

Unfortunately this does not last. I thought I would have until she went onto solids however this is not true and now at just over 3 months her shit stinks.

To add to this she only goes once a day for a number 2 and it seems to take all her concentration to do so (she will literally stop what she is doing and stare hard directly in front of her) and then you hear the rumble in her bottom followed by her smiles of relief.

When you look to see what the damage is there is always a shit load of it and your lucky if the nappy held it all in and often we have to change her outfit, clean out her belly button or even give her a bath.

If it is this bad now, I don't want to know what they will be like when she is on solids!
