Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Excess Foul Smell During Bowel Movement And Urination In Infants?
My 2 week old daughter bowel movements have smelt kinda fishy the past 3 days & her urine has a strong smell to it. She is formula fed (Enfamil infant) she eats just fine & every 2/3 hours. is this normal or should I be more concerned and take her to the Dr s?
The fish smell in the urine could be related to the milk formula. If she eats normally, has no fever, sleeps normally and well hydrated (urinates well), there is no reason to panic.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
