When babies are very young, they cannot express their situation to their parents. In this case, parents can only pay attention to the changes in their babies at all times. Many parents will judge the health of their babies based on their urine. Under normal circumstances, babies' urine has a faint ammonia smell, so why does it smell bad when they urinate? Let's learn about it together below!
Baby's urine smells bad. What's going on
1. Upper body heat: Baby's upper body heat is a direct cause of urinary odor. It is often caused by improper diet or insufficient water intake, resulting in less urine. This not only causes urinary odor symptoms, but also leads to significant yellowing of urine. So parents should pay attention to supplementing their babies with more water in their daily lives, and also encourage them to eat more vegetables and fruits that are high in fiber.
2. Urinary tract infection: Some babies may experience urinary odor and strong urine smell, which may be caused by urinary tract infections. This abnormal odor is mainly a mixture of bacteria and inflammatory secretions in the urinary tract. If the baby also experiences frequent urination, painful urination, urgency, etc., it is best to take the baby to the hospital for examination in a timely manner.
