Question About Uring..

Hi T.-

I think there is a disease called Maple Syrup Urine disease-as weird as that sounds, but I thought that it shows up in newborns-I think it is a metabolic problem. But maybe there are other forms of the disease that shows up later in babies? I have no experience with it, i just read about it sometime ago. You might want to read up on it or ask your pediatrician about it.

I would definitely advise calling your ped immediately. Even if it's something other than Maple Syrup Urine Disease, there is something going on that needs to be looked at right away.

Antibiotics can cause the body to do a lot of weird things. You may also want to look at giving your daughter probiotics, as well, since antibiotics can also cause an imbalance of flora in the intestines.

Good luck and please keep us updated!

Hey T., try not to worry too much about it until you talk to your ped. Meds can definitely change the consistency/odor of urine, and Miss A is generally healthy otherwise. However, you want to eliminate any other causes. Call the good pediatrician :)

Call your pediatrician immediately. I don't mean to scare you, but this can be really serious. Google "Maple Syrup Urine Disease" or "Maple Syrup Urinary Disease."

Please be sure to get her blood sugar checked. My 4 year old niece's breath had a weird smell, plus other symptoms, and it turned out she has juvenile diabetes.

Hope for you it's not that serious, but it was something that wasn't checked at first.
