Question

Hello, Is it forbidden to walk with tefillin near a baby who smells of excrement? And if so, how should a person act who put on tefillin at home to go out for prayer, and then his wife asks him to bring the baby, but the baby has excrement in the diaper and the smell is noticeable in the room?

Answer

Hello,
One who wears tefillin must distance themselves from a place where there is excrement.
