My baby smells fishy!

[Mrs-G]

The last couple of days I've thought my baby's head smelt a bit fishy, anyone else had this?

She is quite a little fatty and gets lots of neck cheese which I have to keep an eye on and try and keep clean but with all the rolls of fat it's impossible to keep dry so perhaps it's this, alternatively could it be her breath or perhaps her hair? I've not been washing her hair in shampoo as she has dry skin and has oilatum in the bath (she's quite bald anyway) and the only difference in my diet is that I had garlic butter on Sunday and garlic bread Monday.

I've washed her hair with shampoo last two days and I've not really smelt it today so hoping whatever it was has gone, just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas as to what may cause this?

Didn't want to read and run Hun, but I would doubt it's something that you've eaten, if it was her head smelling funny? I wouldn't worry too much if it's gone now. My Lo's scalp smelled odd but she has flaky scalp so I started using cradle cap shampoo (forgot what it's called, starts with a D) and the smell is gone now.

Oooh my lo has a flakey scalp too, so many options - can't smell it yet so fx

cradle cap can cause some weird odours xx
