Aidan has had breath like COMPOST at times! I think it comes from reflux and also constipation. Luckily, it only happens when he's under the weather. When he was younger he sometimes had ACETONE breath! That concerned me, yet I never could get a doctor to explain or seem to take it very seriously, so I posted here about it.
His bad breath incidents increased after the G-tube.
His urine has a strong smell, at times but not sweet. I think it gets too concentrated sometimes, from borderline dehydration.
Aidan's formula is Vanilla flavored Peptamen Jr, which tastes to me like melted icecream. I'm sure it must give him a sweet smell that I'm too familiar with to detect. I mostly love the way he smells.
Does Jake drink a lot of sweet smelling nutritional supplement drinks?
