Your baby is very gassy: is it gas or digestion trouble?
⚡ Short answer: Increased smelly gas in the solids phase is normal flora adaptation: broccoli, beans, onions cause gas — the 3-4 day rule helps identify the culprit.

My baby passes gas all day, sometimes smelly. Is this from solid foods, or a digestion problem?

Daytime gas — especially smelly gas — is most often a new food causing a change in their digestion. Leeks, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, onions, beans, eggs, and some fruits (prunes, pears) naturally create gas. When starting solids, the intestinal bacteria are still adjusting, so gas can increase for a bit — it's adaptation, not a digestion problem. If your baby's poop isn't hard, they're content, and weight gain is good, you can just watch and wait.
Here's a tip: keep notes of which food you introduced, then watch for gas 3-4 days later — that helps you connect the gas to the new food. If gas increases with a new food, you can wait a few days and reintroduce it later.
If you see blood or mucus in the poop, constant crying, or vomiting, check with your pediatrician.
