1- The dirty diaper of a fully nursed baby smells unpleasantly. It's just
a different unpleasant smell.

2- My son pushed me to do QSA Yomi with him this cycle, which in turn
was caused by my mentioning RDS's posts on the subject. BTW, I put
together the current QSAY cycle (with Jewish dates and holidays) in a
form you can import into Outlook. If you're interested let me know
if you want the EY or chu"l version. All of which was to say, we just
learned this.

QSA 5:5 says the age is one that "*acheirim* beyamav yecholim" to eat
a kezayis of cooked grain bikhday achilas peras. Leshitaso, the
particular diaper could be filled with pure processed mother's milk,
and it would still be a problem.

Tir'u baTov!
