Babies urine is starting to smell very strong!!?

Question

My little girl is 9 weeks old today and I have noticed in the last week or so her urine has started smelling a lot stronger!! She isnt soaking through her diaper and I change her at least every 2 hours!! She doesnt have any sort of infection and everything is normal down!! Is this just something that is normal?!

P.s. she is not breast feed any longer....she has been on formula for about a month and 2wks now!!

Answer 1

sounds like dehydration. my son went through that to around 2 months. just give her about an oz. of regular bottled water room temp. a day. but no more than that because you dont want her filling up on water, she needs her calorie intake to gain weight with her formula. and yes its ok for babies to drink a little bit of plain water.

Answer 2

maybe she is getting a bit dehydrated, you said you were formula feeding, do you also give her some cooled boiled water in between feeds? all my formula feeding friends do this

i do notice occasionally with my son who is fully bf that if he goes longer than usual between feeds or has a long nap sometimes his pee is darker and a bit smelly but then it goes back to regular
