Foul-smelling urine in LO

This morning when I went to change DD's diaper I noticed that it smelled horrible in her room.  I could have sworn she had pooped, but it was just pee.  It was the most foul-smelling urine I've experienced from her. After looking online various sources say to have her checked for a UTI.  

She doesn't feel feverish or warm, and she's acting like her normal self.  She doesn't seem to be teething, either.  Does anyone have experience with UTIs in babies? Is this enough to warrant a trip to the pedi? My plan is to just keep an eye on it and if the odor doesn't go away I may take her in but if I need to take her in sooner I will.

TIA

  • I would call the pedi.  

    If you need tips on getting a urine collection sample, let me know, I'm a pro after last week, lol.

  • This is going to sound weird, but did she eat asparagas or anything else out of the ordinary?  I know asparagas is known to make urine foul smelling.

    For awhile Audra's urine smelt so bad! Like really strong cheerios...I had been feeding her a lot of things made with chicken broth. Once I stopped using it as much it no longer smelt.

    She also just had a UTI. However, she did not have foul smelling urine accompanied with it.

    This was going to be my question. Asparagus definitely makes lexi's pee stink!

  • No asparagus, and she hasn't eaten anything too out of the ordinary.  I may see if it continues to smell bad throughout the day then I'll call the pedi this afternoon if it isn't better.
