How To Treat Smelly Pee In A 7 1/2 Months Old Child?

My son is 7 1/2 months old, and is almost exclusively breastfed--other than a very little bit of solid food that I am introducing. His pee smells like breast-fed baby poop, sometime so strong that I think he has a dirty diaper. He's not a big eater, but his diapers are usually nice and wet (I don't fear that he is dehydrated). Should I be concerned?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi
My opinion is that you should not be worried for smelly poop at present. It's normal to observe a change in smell of baby's poop when complementary feeds are introduced. If baby's activity is good and he is gaining weight at a normal pace then this should be a cause of concern at all.
