To think a newborn baby smell..

[happygilmore]

..is the best smell ever?

DD is 12 weeks old and it's gone :(

It is, yes.

My 6 week old (today) has lost it :( and now keeps throwing up in my hair and smells of gone off milk [bath next]

It is lovely

i am not broody
i am not

I don't think they smell of anything. It has always baffled me when people say this . I am obviously missing out.

Well I am, and this thread's not helping Lovely new baby smell, aaaahhhhh.

I ache to smell that smell again

It is!

I am 37 weeks pregnant and went to visit a friend and her new baby - I practically went into labour just sniffing her head.

(The baby not my friend!)

Aw it can't be gone if your using the same milk and baby bubble bath

I don't remember the smell either. Mine just smelled of Fairy washing powder (and curdled milk!)

Aww Meglet, it's so yummy! Not sure how to describe it, like biscuits maybe?

i am 39 weeks PG. I still cant beleive this will be me soon

newborns are nice, repeat x 100......

i love the smell of my ds (4.5 years) i could eat him!!

Awww that smell I miss it :)

All you pregnant women will get to smell it very soon

Yes, YABU

YANBU!

DS is 11 weeks and has also lost it :-(

Feeling broody just thinking about it (runs off to discuss possibility of DC3 with DH...that's a "no" apparently).

YANBU. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... newborns

DD is 15 weeks and the top of her head still smells lovely. Not quite the full-on newborn olfactory amazingness, but still great.

Fair enough bellepink!

I had heard people say about the newborn smell thing but didn't really think it existed til we had DD. It's so distinctive isn't it?

my DS smelled completely wonderful when he was born - his very own special smell.

After a long and busy day in the sun, his hair still smells exactly same way.

My 6 month old DD smells of the most delicious combination of Fairy Non-Bio, Johnsons Baby shampoo, milk, rusks and sainsbury's baby bath (which is fab). I just HAVE to scoop her up for a sniff of her little scruffy head at least every 5 minutes.

I sometimes go into her room while she's in bed asleep just for a little sniff.

Smells are so emotive aren't they? I'm just having a carton of Ribena, takes me right back to the fortnight before giving birth when I had to go to hosp for monitoring nearly every day and DP always bought a Ribena in the WRVS shop.

DS smelt of steak at first.

woo hoo DWP :o

Steak

Steak?

I did like the smell of DS' poo though, it was so sweet until he was weaned...

It's actually a lovely smell happygilmore

But do you really really think you might be BU to think so? Why not just go on Chat and say "I love the smell of newborns"?
