Ha! This made me laugh... our nickname for our son is Stinker... because his feet get so sweaty and smelly, a trait inherited from his dad. :) I just have to make sure he has time each day without socks on so they can air out. I think the socks make it much worse.

Lol..my son has the same problem. My mother was holding him the other day while lying down and his feet were right at her nose, where he wouldn't stop kicking her face. She looked at me and said, "His feet stink!" It's really just in between the toes that captures most of the smell and we often keep him in socks, so I've been airing them out a little bit more, while also cleaning carefully during his baths. They still smell a little though. He has sweaty feet, poor thing. I'm sure it's normal, but I'm going to ask my pediatrician this Friday at his appointment.
Sorry I couldn't offer you a solution. He's still adorable though, right?

my little one gets smelly toes when his feet are damp (sweat, water, etc). After you use wipes or a damp cloth, dry them after. Pick out the toe jam often, and use powder just on the toes after a bath.
Lots of pars of baby's stink. Its because of their limited mobility and chubbiness. Certain parts of skin just touch each other all day long and no air gets in there and water, drool, sweat and dirty just build up. For some babies necks, arm pits, leg folds, crease between leg and body, bums, fingers and toes can all have this issue.
I was told to try this. Use wipe or cloth to clean all folds, finger and toes in the morning and evening if no bath. A couple of hours before a bath, slather the little guys folds, toes, diaper area and anywhere the skin doesn't get aired out often with diaper cream. Give him a bath and dry him well with some naked time afterwards. Play with him so that he moves his arms and legs a lot and give air to those damp places, Then use powder sparingly on those parts.
Good Luck!
After doing this, the folds on my little dude's neck, legs and arm pits have improved in all ways and his toes rarely skink.

The most common causes of stinky feet are from the dyes used in socks, or in his case maybe little booties. Try only using white cotton and let him be barefoot whenever possible. Also you could sprinkle a little baby powder ont them to keep them nice and dry. Hope this helps!

When I was a baby I had the same problem. My mom took me to the prdiatrician and she laughed and told her to put baby powder on ym feet. I'm not sure it that's still a remedy, but I'm sure it'd soak up the moisture and help the smell!

I don't think that's normal at this age (could be wrong).
I would make sure they dry out before putting the socks on. Give him some naked feet time at home.
Might ask the dr about it, though I doubt it's very serious.
ETA: Well, I'm a firm believer in bare feet, I guess this is why I've avoided the stinky feet.

My babies feet stink after he wears his little shoes... They do smell but hey, my feet don't smell so fresh either after being cooped up in socks & shoes. We just air them out most of the day & only put socks & shoes on to go out.

the two considered one of my boys had pungent ft from some million month previous till they have been probable 9 or 10 months previous. They weren't pungent like person ft...that they had extra of a vinegary scent to them. a chum of mine's infant had the comparable element. they are all boys, so in line with possibility it incredibly is a few thing with infant boys? the two considered one of my boys (and hers!) outgrew it. i don't understand what led to it.

this kinda makes me laugh, that a baby that yong has stink feet. Call your peditrician, maybe he has something coming out of his pores. Like when YOU eat garlic, it comes out of your pores... did u try rubbing alcohol on some cotton? Rub that, see if it dis-infects it? Is there maybe a doggy lickking his feet? Hmmm... dunno! Call the doc!
