My 9 month old baby has very strong smelling urine it smells like fish. She is formula fed, she doesn t eat much solid food and also drinks plenty of water. She urinates alot, most of the time its very clear. She has no obvious signs of infection such as temperature or irritability. I ve noticed this smell quite a few times over the past month but not all the time. I change her nappy frequently and keep her as clean as possible. Any advice would be appreciated.. Thanks.
Hi.probable problem in your child are1. Concentrated urine (because of inadequate fluid intake2. Inborn error of metabolism (MUD - Maple syrup urine disease)if child is gaining adequate weight and appropriate developmental milestones, nothing much to worry. If child has poor weight gain and delayed milestone, consult your pediatrician for further work up. Regards- Chat Doctor.
