Hypothetical Question: Could someone give me reasons why a 6 month breastfed baby would start to have foul smelling (and copious) amounts of gas? And BMs that are different, too? No solid foods have been introduced yet.

Thanks for any help!

starting teething which starts an increase in saliva which if swallowed rather than drooled can cause changes?

Ah, that's probably it. Lightbulb going off. My other son teethed very late (as I and all my siblings did, around 1 year) so I wasn't really looking for those signs. But he has many of the signs.

Sometimes I just need other experienced voices, because I see food allergies with every symptom and I don't like to push the panic button.

swallowing saliva causes more air to be swallowed as well, thus causing the gas. this is also why those who chew gum tend to have more gas than those who don't.
