When my son sweats. . . ?

You should definantly let his doc know asap . There is an illness where the person smells like maple syrup.It is called maple Syrup Urine Disease. It is a Nitrogen metabolism Defect. The treatment involves removing Amino acids from the diet. I doubt that this is what makes your son smell so sweet, but it is worth bringing it up.

There's a disease called maple syrup urine disease.. but it is usually diagnosed within the first few weeks of life. I would, however, take him to the doc and ask about it because it's a metabolitic disorder.

this is not something that you should ignore ..this is a sign of childhood diabetes..you need to get him to the Dr asap..until then look up a diabetic diet on the web and cut his sugar intake by that i don't mean just cookies cakes etc..white bread,some pastas,certain can foods..if this goes ignored he can have seizures,blindness,abnormality to his organs ,it can effect his heart,i know this sounds scary but i have lived through it ..it doesn't take a whole lot to fix if caught early you will be able to teach him life long diabetic skills and it will be easier as an adult or teen for him GOOD LUCK

easy stop giving the kid sugar. our bodys smell is caused from our diet. for a while i drank a lot of gatorade and i started to smell like those damn liqued soap dispensers in the bathrooms...stopped drinking the gatorade and the smell went away... so lay of the sugurs and drink more water.

Yes, bring it up to the doctor. It could be an indication of something.

Ensure the bed sheets and clothes are cleaned frequently and give him a bath more often.

omg my sister smelled the same way when she was ababy and know shes 6 and shes fine

Its an indication of something....go to your doc...

u might want to seek medical attention this is a sign of Diabetes!
