Smelly urine in newborn

So I am literally just making this post just to inform new mothers something that I wish I would’ve known. my two week old son started having stronger smelling urine and the only reason that caught my attention was because my daughter also had strong smelling urine when she was a toddler , which caused me to take her to the doctors and ended up having a UTI so my sons urine smells nearly the same. He had no other symptoms and in my head I was thinking he’s just a newborn there’s no way he could have a UTI I just had him 2 weeks ago . so I took him to urgent care they tested him he had positive leukocytes so then I took him to his pediatrician. They did another test, came back the same, his doctor called the Children’s Hospital and told me to go over there immediately that my two week old son has a UTI infection he had to be hospitalized for two weeks and get IV anabiotic’s and the only symptom he had was stronger smelling urine no fever, no irritability, nothing and the only way I can explain it which may sound funny But urine to me smells sort of like a cup of noodles. If the urine actually has a very strong urine smell, I would recommend getting checked, because if I didn’t, it could have lead to sepsis in my newborn. via /r/NewParents https://ift.tt/1GuvDJo
