Breastmilk smell and foods

My freshly EBM makes LO's breath smell funny.  I didn't eat a ton of garlic or anything...what else can make breastmilk smell "potent"?  I googled and didn't find anything.

    I just realized, I have never smelled my babys breath before.  Is it so bad that you can smell it without trying?  Or does it just smell like through up / spit up?

    is it possible she has thrush?  That is the only thing I can think of.

    Poor smelly baby.  I've never heard of this.  I googled it and couldn't find anything.  Sorry.  Interesting though, keep us updated if this means anything.

    I just ran through my head what I ate yesterday and a few days ago when it also happened, and both times I ate fish (Tilapia and salmon) about 24 hours before I noticed it.  Coincidence?  Hm.  It's definitely not thrush, her mouth looks fine and my nips are not itchy.
