What Causes Garlic Like Smell From Toddler S Diapers?
Hello, my almost 17 mo. old daughter s peed diapers smell REALLY rank the past couple of days! It s not a strong smell of urine, it s a much stranger odor! When I get a whiff of it, I think she is pooped, but when I open her diaper to change her, it s just pee! I started sprinkling garlic powder on her eggs every morning for the past week to week and a half, so that is the only thing I can come up with as to why it smells so bad! It does kind of smell like garlic. Could that be the cause of this terrible odor???

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your daughter, more important is clinical symptoms if the child is doing well then you need to worry about this, at the most urine can be sent for analysis just to clear the doubt else such smell is just likely when urine remains there for some time in diaper, hope this information helps, take care.
