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!!!

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.
