Smelly farts

My Little one (4 weeks old) is on kendamil and every since we put him on it (due to aptamil making him sick) he’s had really smelly farts, is this due to the milk he’s on? Or an intolerant?

Bath time

Just curious how often does everyone give their baby a bath? I usually give mine 2-3 a week, unless something happens and she needs an extra one, (like a blow out lol) but idk if that’s enough or not enough. She will be 7 months next week

Milk going everywhere when baby drinking!?.

So my baby is five months old and I’ve noticed for a few weeks now when he’s drinking he just seems to be spilling so much more out of his mouth when he’s drinking as in his bib is absolutely soaked. I don’t understand why this is happening more now than I’ve ever noticed before.

He’s EBF, what can I do to help him besides ...

Startle reflex and reflux

My little one has just turned 10 weeks and has reflux, we’ve started using a thickener but since he’s had reflux he’s started to startle loads. Is this a part of reflux or is it just normal to happen at this stage?
