I can't be the only one, surely?

AmazingBouncingFerret · 20/02/2013 23:25

You are all bloody odd.

Farts stink, no matter whose they are. I am APPALLED at people saying they like the snell of their 2, or even 4 yos farts!! I have to hold my breath when dealing with either of my beautiful children's crap. Baby breath is a lovely smell, but we're talking brand new, milk fed newborn babies. And as for morning wee??!!

JackieTheFart · 21/02/2013 01:22

I did when they were newborns. Not now.

Mine, however, are pure nasal ambrosia.

RaspberryRuffle · 21/02/2013 01:37

OMG! I'm honestly quite shocked, and a bit grossed out and a bit fascinated in the way that I get when watching Embarrassing Bodies. One of my sisters is very gross and loves to fart loudly in front of people so I will have to ask her about this.
licking babies?? liking fart and poo smells? Please nobody bring out a perfume to match ;-)
I'm just waiting for more gross revelations, I have an active imagination...

The baby nappies smell quite sweet when exclusively bf though. But once weaned, everything changes and it really becomes proper poo and I just wont be caught sniffing that!

OccamsRaiser · 21/02/2013 02:34

My DH used to call our DS the 'peanut pooper' when he was very little (and EBF) as he swore that's what the nappies smelled like. Now that he's older, we still call him Peanut, as a nickname, but only the two of us (and now MN) know why...

Beachcombergirl · 21/02/2013 03:59

Yeah,not so much since weaning began to be fair

MercedesKing · 21/02/2013 06:54

Not that into the smell, perhaps it is due to the reason that I am still not a real mom. Well, I do believe things would be changed sometime. Grin

Dannilion · 21/02/2013 09:28

What the actual fuck have I just read Confused

MissTapestry · 21/02/2013 13:36

I lick DD, especially if she's scratched herself. I also have a good whiff of her nappy when it comes off! I like kissing the sweaty but under her toes too, especially when she curls her toes over my lip Grin

Petsinmypudenda · 21/02/2013 13:40

You dirty fucking bastards!

Blergh

FloatyFlo · 21/02/2013 13:51

This is rather grim.

Perhaps the oddest thread I've read in a while.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 21/02/2013 13:55

YANBU If you like them, you like them.

I used to stare in wonderment at the beautiful colours of my kids' poo when they were first weaning. And if they have breast milk and veg it doesn't smell pooey anyway.

And their beautiful buttery breath - smelled like sunshine should smell to me.

It's different now they're teenagers though....oh yes siree.

Locketjuice · 21/02/2013 13:56

Strange ones ....

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 21/02/2013 13:59

But I do still relish the smell of the tops of their heads, even though the older 2 have to be sitting down for me to reach. Grin

honeytea · 21/02/2013 14:05

I am so glad I have found some other baby licking mummies! I like to lick ds (9 weeks) and DP thinks I am actaully crazy. If he sees me doing it I get a disaproving "did you just lick the baby again? You shouldn't do that you know" I feel I have to do it in secret.

I felt like DS was just like a puppy when he was first born, we call him valpen which means the puppy in DP's language.

I have wondered about bf baby poo, what would happen if I just drank expressed breastmilk for a day, would my poo smell like bf baby poo?

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 21/02/2013 15:21

Honeytea you didn't lick the puppy, did you......?

midastouch · 21/02/2013 15:26

OMG!!! really?? Eeuurrghhh!! This could well be the strangest AIBU ive read!

CitrusyOne · 21/02/2013 15:30

DD is 4 months and EBF. My farts smell just like her's- and it's that way round. Mine definitely smell of baby fart. Why is that?

bedmonster · 22/02/2013 11:15

I have never in my life heard that people lick their babies! Most unexpected I must say!

BurnThisDiscoDown · 22/02/2013 13:21

I lick DS's little forehead, not so much now he's 18 months and wriggly, but I get him when he's all sleepy. Blush
