Stinky neck.

My babe is almost 3 weeks old. I'm exclusively breastfeeding and I heard when milk drips down when they eat, and gets in their little neck it smells. And it's true! I bathe her every other night and clean her neck with wipes, but it doesn't seem to help much. Any advise?

Try rubbing her neck with some lotion before she eats. It kinda acts as a film and helps the milk not to collect. Have you tried putting a bib on baby?
