Guest guest Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Just visited a friend with twins and both mom and grandma mentioned that one little girl has very smelly wind - has anyone seen this? I didn't think this would happen with a breastfed baby. She also sleeps more than her sibling, nurses less frequently and for a shorter duration . . .

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I think that smelly wind with a hydrogen sulphide odour similar to an egg like smell, is due to the anaerobic respiration of candida in baby's gut. Examine the dyad for the presence of candida in other vectors ie baby's mouth, baby's bottom, and mothers nipples etc. Fisher IBCLC ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
