Answer:

Stool is made up of undigested food, bacteria, mucus and dead cells. It usually smells bad because of the bacteria and parasites, but it also can have compounds that produce an especially unpleasant smell. ... "Also, stool with a lot of fat can smell particularly bad."

Explanation:

Baby's First Bowel Movements. The very first stool your baby passes doesn't smell bad. That's because the black, tarry-looking stuff, called meconium, is sterile. Until the intestines are colonized with bacteria, there's nothing to make poop stinky

Preti, is that the smell comes from the vernix caseosa, which is the whitish cheese-like substance that coats a newborn's skin just after he enters the world. It's typically washed off, but the scent may continue to linger on the baby's hair and skin.
