Good question: ? Foul smelling urine, baby might cry with urination, be febrile (all babies who develop a fever of >101f should have their urine checked. Baby's lower abdomen (over bladder) may be tender also the flanks. Baby will have pain if you tap over back of lower rib cage on either side if UTI has reached kidneys. Have dr. Test a bagged urine specimen, if -ve no uti, if +ve confirm w. Catheter specimen.
