What Causes Cold And Ammonia Smelling Breath In Infant?
My fourth month infant has had a minor cold since Monday evening. She has seemed unaffected by it and her normal self. On Thursday she began snubbing her bottle and didnt want anything to do with it. Last night she had a very strong ammonia smell coming off her breath like she had ingested moth balls. What is causing this and should I be worried?

Hi...this is not normal and I suggest it cold be a very initial signs of inborn errors of metabolism. I suggest you get her evaluated with the pediatrician.
