To think a newborn baby smell..

[happygilmore]

..is the best smell ever?

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

Smelt, smelled? Who cares?!

Another one here who loves the smell of baby poo.

I don't just not mind it or find it inoffensive, I actively love it.

I may never wean my last DC as I won't be able to bear it when it starts just smelling of shit.

Ahh, cyteen how lovely to see you. Thank you and mine to yours x

I love that smell too - always thought the smell came from the 'sweetness' of the amniotic fluid though.

Don't think the smell is fanjo - it lasted for a few weeks and we did bath her occasionally!

I'd forgotten that bf babies' poo smells better, only bf dd for a short while and was ill and out of it, my memory is a bit hazy.

mmm baby breath was lovely, my lil' boy is now 4 months and as he drools and chews his hands and everything else as well his breath doesn't smell the same
his feet actually sometimes smell like cheese - I do bath him regularly, he's probably going to have really smelly feet like his dad!

Definitely like puppies!

My babies definately didn't smell like my puppy!

My pup just smelled like wee!

I saw a dead rabbit by the side of the road earlier, and wondered if that smelled of new born baby...

I still sniff my 2 year old. I don't remember the smell as much as the feel. I opted for skin to skin as soon as he was born and his skin was so soft and perfect. Don't get the whole baby poo sniffing though.

My dd (5) still smells lovely. The patch next to her ear on her cheek is the best, cosiest smell in the world. Always makes me feel happy.

i love the smell of ds milky sweet breath mmmmmmmmmm

The smell of BF baby poo is nice, I agree. Quite sweet.

DS didn't really eat much in the way of solids until he was about 8 - 9 months so it came as a shock when his nappies contained actual poo!
