Hello,
If the baby's growth and development are normal and she is attending all developmental milestones normally then I do not think that you should be worried about her.
But abnormal urine smell is suggestive of inborn error of metabolism sometimes.
I suggest that you get a urine IEM screen done and then if everything is negative you can be rest assured.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
