Have been to cranial osteopath and she asked if babies poo smelled infected. I said i dont know what that would smell like, but ds is very liquidy and sort of buttery and sweet smelling. Normal??

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 23/01/2009 13:48

yes very sweet and dough like!

Sounds normal; I may be a total weirdo, but I almost like the smell of my bf baby's poo.

Sweet, buttery popcorn, or something...

Sugar puffs!

DP and I still refer to her "puffs" (although a two year old's nappies aren't nearly so sweet )

plusonemore · 23/01/2009 13:55

Sweet and sort of similar to the smell of bmilk. You'll miss it when you start to wean!!!

Bella73 · 23/01/2009 14:47

DP always said it smelled like toasted pitta bread, which put him off that for a while!

caramac altough my ds farts stink to high heaven

boolean · 23/01/2009 16:15

Fruity bum! Well, that's what I always say when I am changing DD. Definitely sweet smelling.

mawbroon · 23/01/2009 17:11

Yogurty, and I liked the smell.

I know exactly the infected smell though, and I can tell if ds is heading for a tummy bug because his farts have the rancid infected smell.

something to tell his girlfriends eh?

curried yogurt

terramum · 23/01/2009 18:39

Yeah and easy to change because they don't run off trail crap all over you and the floor!

Greatsweetkittyothepuddingrace · 23/01/2009 19:44

sweet curled butter

DD3 just weaned and yuck!

ToAMountainDAISYcal · 23/01/2009 19:52

DS1 and DD, like butter popcorn.

DS2 a stronger smell, more like treacle toffee, but like
mothersmilk's DC his farts are noxious....really eye wateringly smelly.
