Baby C’s pee has not been smelling foul anymore for the past 3 days. After so many foul smelling pee incidences, I can now see the trend quite clearly. The foul smelling pee goes hand in hand with diarrhea / loose bowel movement. Each time she purges more than 3 times a day for several days, her diaper area would turn red and sore. Next comes the foul smelling pee. As soon as the diarrhea is under control and the diaper area not sore anymore, her pee would also not smell foul anymore.
I think what could have caused her to have frequent loose bowel was the cranberry juice that I had been feeding her. I’ve since stopped feeding her with cranberry juice and have only been giving her freshly grated apple juice, grape juice and pear juice. Cranberry juice is well known for preventing UTI but looks like it could be the culprit to Baby C having frequent UTIs coz her little tummy just can’t stomach the sour cranberry juice, thus causing her the diarrhea (I am just assuming). Sigh…. case of the devil and the deep blue sea….. just praying hard that no more bacteria, WBC and RBC will be detected in her pee ever again, period.
Anyway, will be bringing Baby C’s pee to the hospital for another culture test tomorrow.
Good news!! Also good that there is no after-effect from the bump. They are a lot more resilient than I thought but it is worrying, I know. Mine is like a walking accident!
sigh..poor baby. have to deal with purging and UTI. Are there any other juices to prevent UTI besides cranberry juice?
