Examination: Excessive sweating may be associated with chronic illness at this age. Keep your daughter well hydrated with formula or by nursing. Please see your pediatrician for a complete examination and review of growth and feeding.

Maybe: There are some metabolic issues that would show up as a bad sweat odor, but it may be normal. Discuss it with her doc.
