I have deliberated about asking this question because I am so embarassed but my breast milk seems to smell of BO and baby's breath/ mouth then also smells of BO. Wondered if it was the curry we had last week but smell still there. Anyone else had this problem - should it smell at all? Thanks everyone!

Hi Noodleboo (love the name!), I'm not sure I'd describe it as BO but it certainly has a 'body' smell about it, and DD's mouth too. It does change smell but sometimes I think she has terrible breath and then realise all she's eaten has come from me...
Best not to smell it me thinks and just kid yourself it/she smells of roses!

Have you tasted it? You could tell if it was the curry then!
