Hi, first of all congratulations for your 9 months old baby.
Coming to your concern, passing smelly gas is very common and normal for infants. If he is really crying, grunting while passing stool, try giving 5 ml of gripe water. I used to give it to my daughter when she had the same problem and it really worked, though it depends from one infant to other. Apart from that, tummy massage, giving tummy time helps like a miracle.
Good luck!
