anyone know anyjthing about ketones (on breath)
strange question i know but when i went through some crazy dieting days where you restricted various food groups from your diet i would get a gluey nailvarnish type smell on my breath which i was told was ketones. Now i am having a nightmare with daisy at night again and last night i noticed whilst trying to restrain her she had this same odour coming from her breath ive noticed it before and today i mentioned it to peadeatrician as we went back about her reflux and he sent her for some blood tests (horrific i have to say) well ive just googled it and it mentioned diabeties. Just wondered if anyone had any experience of diabities on babies. I dont for one minute thikk she got it although she does drink loads and loads?? or does anyone else notice this smell?

Anyway, because the diet was no food - it was meal replacement shakes & soups (full of your 100% RDA of the vitamins etc... your body needs) you did get ketones that came out of your body as stinky breath - but this was good on the diet, it proved you were following it correctly!
Anyway, skipping forward to recently... at a check - up with my Dr, my urine showed ketones and the Doctor said this was because I'd not eaten enough that day and / or I was dehydrated.
Don't want to worry you (or offend you by saying your LO is hungry / dehydrated), but maybe see the Dr?
But hope this helps a little bit xxxxx
Maybe it you look at their website it might tell you more about them hon!
If you want to know anything else then just ask but I am sure your lo is fine. It is probably nothing.
