Acidic smell in latrine
My 10 days baby have passed latrine 5 to 6 times in last 12 hrs. Also the latrine has acidic smell. Should I consult to a doctor immediately?
If the baby is active, passing urine 6 to 8 times in a day and feeding well, and on exclusive breast feeding nothing to worry. It's normal and frequency will decrease soon.
If any of the above mentioned are absent you need to consult.
Next Steps
continue exclusive breast feeding
if using formula feeds, check if your mixing technique is correct.
Use only spoon/paladai for feeding rather than bottles.
