No need to worry. Breast milk /formula milk has sugar (lactose) that gets excreted by some infants in urine.

ants in urine is very common in infancy and in toddlers as many times parents are giving more sugary and sweet food to the child causing leakage of sugar / glucose in urine which attracts ants.
usually it is a temporary phenomenon which does not require any lab investigation.
it is usually not related to diabetes.
just decrease the amount of sugar and sweet the child is consuming and everything will be fine
