maybe the mom also takes fenugreek to increase supply. if it affects
mothers sweat it might as well affect babies pee.

> Jaye posts about a mother whose baby's pee smells funny. The mother is taking 80 mg of Domperidone (daily, I am guessing). Jaye asks for input.

> If the baby has normal urine and stool output, is growing as expected and is fully breastfed, I'd look for other things, like laundry detergent in the diapers if they are cloth. The detergent could be reacting to something in the urine and causing an odor. If the baby is being supplemented (as might be the case since mother presumably has supply problems) it could be something in the formula, and it could be a urinary tract infection. If the baby is not getting enough milk, it could be dehydrated, which normally means concentrated urine, which in turn may have more of an odor.

Because the Medieval Church, with the support of kings, princes and
secular authorities, controlled medical education and practice, the
Inquisition constitutes, among other things, an early instance of the
"professional" repudiating the skills and interfering with the rights
of the "nonprofessional" to minister to the poor. -Thomas Szasz, The
Manufacture of Madness-
