Well, it's pretty complex, but excess ammonia comes from impaired methylation and enhanced breakdown of methylation cycle intermediates, especially BH4. I would be curious if the baby is exhibiting other indications of increased histamine sensitivity, such as flushing, hives, diarrhea, rashes or eczema.

Good morning all,

On a Facebook page someone asked about her
 infant's ammonia-smelling sweat on his head. A whole list of answers, 
of course, and many addressed the ammonia-smelling sweat in some people 
who do heavy workouts, insufficient hydratin and probabe lack of 
carbohydrates. Some mused that, while baby seemed to be getting enough 
hydration (lots of wet nappies etc) he might be sweating the odou of his
 moderately dehydrated mom. I think this is a long shot, but is it?
Anyone any idea's, research, physics explanation?

Wondering in southern Netherlands.
