How is this even possible?

[sunshine080]

My daughter can literally sense me walking into the room from her deepest sleep. All the lights are off before I walk in, the door is already ajar and opens silently, the floorboards don't creak and we have super thick carpet, there's white noise playing, the fan is oscillating and I don't make a single sound. There is absolutely no way I somehow do something that could disturb her, and yet this is every night. I'm a good 4-5m away from her as I walk in and on the opposite side of the bed, so how can it be that she knows I'm there?

Are you breastfeeding?

As in it could be your smell. Even if you're not breastfeeding it could just be your smell

@sunflowerandivy i am but she'd surely have to have a more sensitive sense of smell than a sniffer dog to pick up my scent from across the room within <10 seconds. I'm not doubting your theory as it's about the only thing that makes sense but it just seems like some super human ability. I don't wear perfume or anything FWIW
