Rep Power: 397 Good luck removing the smell...You may be stuck with it for life....Honestly you can try cleaning the seat and shampooing the seat with a machine...Make sure you use really good fabric cleaner....and pre spray the area a few times before you goto work with the machine....After you use the machine....go over the spot with the vaccum and let the area dry with the windows open in a sunny, hot area....If that doesnt work, and you still have the smell which I think you may....you may need a new seat....Once you spill Milk or babys formula on fabric....you are screwed and you are stuck with this nasty smell....I know cause I have detailed many cars with spilled old formula or milk from a bottle....

Rep Power: 0 you guys know a new seat doesn't exactly come cheap, right? If everyone just buy new things, they don't need detailing. Like if you scratch the bumper, buy a bumper. The car is dirty, buy a new car. (might gone too far with the last one 
) I am not trying to be rude here, just trying to prove a point
anyways, i would suggest shampooing and fabrezze like the other guys sugguest. Also get yourself a strong air fresher to try to convert up the smell.
