My son is 16 wks. i mainly breastfeed w some formula. today, i realized his breath smelled like sweet milk and a little like soap. any reason for this?

Baby breath: Sweet is good, not sure what you mean buy soap. Some soaps have a fragrance all their own. If you see any patches of white in the cheeks or inside the lips, it might be thrush. If any of this is apparent take your son to his Pediatrician Monday.

I recently started giving my 2 month old baby boy formula milk, and I noticed that his urine smells strong. Should I be worried? The reason I started feeding him formula is because I dont have enough breast milk therefore I top up with formula.
My son was born 3 days ago. He is not drinking milk properly. He sleeps for long time and had to forcefully woken up for feeding. He doesn't suck milk from breast. As a result, we have to give him formula milk. How can we make him breast feed?
