LOs pee smells like cereal milk

Ok it's been a looooong time since I've been back on the board but I know my company here will be more helpful than Dr. Google.

Does anyone else think their LOs urine smells like cereal milk? DS is FF and I've noticed his wet diapers usually smell like sweetened cereal milk. Dr. Google says it could be a number of scary things but I just wanted to see if I'm in like company here or should make an appt with my ped to discuss.  We don't go back until his 4 month well baby visit next month.

  • Did you have a newborn screen done?

  • @peanutmuse yes and we never heard anything about it. (Your post about Brennon made me think if I should be more concerned and I'm glad to hear his condition isn't as scary as it could have been)

    Yeah, because the sweet smelling urine would be a warning sign of that particular disorder. It is far more likely that it is one of a million other minor things, but obviously my perspective on this is different than others' might be. I would call the pediatrician.

    Sorry to hijack but this thread got me thinking.

    To me, DDs urine smells like my breastmilk, (when I've noticed it) which has a sweet kind of smell to it. Is this how it is supposed to smell? I didn't think much of it because that is all that she is eating.

    Thoughts @peanutmuse‌ ?


  • @km_md -- I am not an expert on this, for sure. He didn't end up having the MSUD. But FWIW, Brennon's urine doesn't really smell like much.
  • km_mdkm_md member
    Thanks for replying @peanutmuse. MSUD was part of DDs newborn screen and she doesn't really have any of the symptoms so I'm not going to worry about it. I'm sure she just has some more concentrated urine at times and is EBF so some of that smell should be normal.
