Wet nappy smells

My little one who's 16 months has been having wet nappies that have a really strong smell of ammonia and fish, only her night nappy, no other times during the day, has anyone experienced this? Thank you

Sounds like dehydration,
the only time I'd get a strong smell from urine is when they're not drinking enough water. Because it's night time, it could be just the length of time she's asleep and not having a drink.
If your unsure or worried, you could take a sample (you can get sample bags in the chemist that go inside the nappy.) and have it tested.

Smells like the nappy is just being left too long on her overnight, would you change her in the night time and see if that helps?
