Why does urine of a baby smell acidic?
Patient: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type Hi my daughter is 8 months old and my husband says her urine smells like bacon at times it smells acidic but not bacon what s wrong and lately not drinking as much as she should not eating much but for the most of the time she s happy Doctor: Hello,If the baby's growth and development are normal and she is attending all developmental milestones normally then I do not think that you should be worried about her.But abnormal urine smell is suggestive of inborn error of metabolism sometimes.I suggest that you get a urine IEM screen done and then if everything is negative you can be rest assured.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Sumanth Amperayani
