My 9-Month Old Baby Pee’s Smells

by: Newman

I have a nine and half month old and we experienced this as well starting about 7 months, which is also when she started teething. I talked to a few other moms, including my own and was told it was a normal side affect of teething, but doesn’t really go away after the teething is finished, but the smell does get a little better from what i have noticed.

From my research i have found there can be a few other causes as well-Change in formula or from BM to formula, starting new foods or starting to eat more solid foods/finger foods, colds and/or other sinus problems, were the main ones i found.

As long as she doesn’t seemed bothered by it and she is still urinating as usual i wouldn’t worry about it, but if it does become dark in color or her belly starts to bother her i would call her doctor.

hi there I would definitely get your baby checked if his or her pee smells weird. even if u think it might be different foods or drinks. no get it checked my son’s pee started to smell at 4weeks old and it was a weird smell and even my nurse told me he was fine but I knew something wasn’t write he didn’t have a fever but he was really bad with his feeds he would fight every bottle and do a big spew almost after every bottle he was really unsettled so I took him to the doctor and they told me take him straight to Westmead children’s hospital so I did turns out he had a uti. the next morning we were back for a ultrasound to check his kidneys turns out he had grade 1 kidney reflux so they put him on antibiotic’s so then we had to go back when he was 3months old and then bad news hit it had gone from grade 1 to grade four kidney reflux and the highest it gets is grade 5 so it was pretty bad .
so far his kidneys have gone down from being swollen but no scaring yet.he is now 7months old and still on antibiotic’s we go back when he is 1 to see if it is still there if it is I hope they will fix it. so yeah I think no matter what anyones says you should always go to the doc and get it looked at its better to be safe then sorry
