Vaginitis or UTI: Your baby might have had a mild vaginal discharge. However she may have had a UTI from streptococci or staphylococci. These don't necessarily test positive on a urine test-strip which tests for nitrite, which is produced by the common gram negative bacilli which originate in the intestinal tract. This can be confirmed by urine culture of catheterized or supra-pubic tap specimen.
