one of two things the baby is dehydrated or they have been wet for a long while. the older a the urine gets the more it small of ammonia.

if this is for a microbiology class, the answer is because ammonia is a bi product of urea catabolism (the breakdown of proteins). Urea is excreted as ammonia through urine in baby's children and adults. So basically if anyone wet themselves while wearing a diaper you would have a large concentration of urine containing ammonia in one place.

What does it mean when your body smells of ammonia after applying soap?

I am having the same. Not 100% sure, but my theory is that the soap has broken down over time, and some of the ammonia compounds in the soap are turning into ammonia. I was getting the smell with a bottle of Old Spice "Pure Sport" scent, and when I got a new bottle, the ammonia smell went away. Tonight I used a lil of an older bottle of Axe "Vice" which is pretty old, and it is really strong ammonia smelling. It even smells like ammonia in the bottle. I'm prob gonna throw the bottle away. You might try a new bottle if you are using liquid soap. Hope this helps
