Smelling wet diapers...

Is it normal to be able to smell a wet diaper before feeling it?

I noticed this too

I think it's pretty normal. If you think about it, their urine is extremely concentrated because they aren't getting any other liquid than the BM or Formula, so it's going to smell a lot stronger than an adult's. The smell I don't like is the surprise silent farts.

If you smell the pee or it is dark when you see it in the diaper it could be a sign of dehydration...

When LO gets her Pampers size 1 wet, the smell of the diaper itself increases.... not smelling the urine though; I think its the part that turns gel like. Didn't notice a change in diaper smell with newborn sized Huggies nor Earth's Best nor Pampers.

Have also noticed the diaper will be warm to the touch through clothing and or smushy when wet.

I smell the pampers diaper when she pees. It almost smells like a chemical.
