Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

The fish smell in the urine could be related to the milk formula. If she eats normally, has no fever, sleeps normally and well hydrated (urinates well), there is no reason to panic.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
