[|Human|] My grandson is 4 month old & breast feeding. He had regular bowel movements (like almost everytime he nursed) for the first 3 months. all of a sudden he quits having reg movements and goes as long as 5 days now - same diet - no food - just breast milk. Mother is very careful about what she eats and drinks. he is very fussy and passes gas that is very fowl smelling. He had a bm last night that was very runny and leaked thru his diaper and in the floor and all over mom. Thought he would feel better today but he didn t. Have had him to the Dr. and she says the fowl order is from bacteria. Is this normal? Don t know if we should take him elsewhere or what. We give him gas drops and gripe water and he is on a medication for reflux that he has been taking since he was about a month old. Can t tell you the medicine as I don t have the prescription bottle with me tonight.
[|AI|]  Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns It is normal in infancy to pass motions in 5 days, provided it is not hard, baby active accepting feed, passing urine. Foul smell with gas is due to fermentation by bacteria, and as freq is of 5 days, it is more foul smelled. I do not think any reason to concern, Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.  Wishing your baby good health.
