actually teething starts at 6 months and you should continue breastfeeding exclusively up to 6 months and then start weaning. for vinegar like smell of stool? had it occurred just after starting baby on food other than milk or on milk also?? had your baby undergone tms (metabolic screening)? is there any family history for the same?? and prevent the putting of thumb in mouth it's not good for health
