Depends - how old is your baby, and is s/he on solids?

Bf farts smell like caramel. When my boy has been scoffing eggs etc though, I'd avoid his general bottom area as a rule!

Nope.

I also used to like the smell of their little milky baby sick

and their pooey nappies.

I think it's programmed into us to not be repulsed by these things when it's our baby (otherwise we'd run off, screaming Wink ). Other people's babies nappies smelled so bad it made me chuck. But not mine.

But you probably shouldn't listen to me, because I also mooed like a cow when giving birth, and used to lick their foreheads and do an odd purr/growl/chuckle.

I don't accept that I purr/growl/chuckled. He's clearly lying. But I did lick their foreheads. It was a compulsion.

it's the animal in us all. Grin

There you go. Now you're not the freak.

He's 6mo, so bottom all over the place at the moment. Still nice though... though if I'm still liking them when he's 16 I will seek professional help. Blush

Not in my opinion anyway. I am sooo glad I'm not alone. I LOVE the smell of everything about my babies. Particularly their nappies (especially when breast fed).

Polly, I smell my baby's breath everymorning too... Cloud, I lick and smell them all the time too.

Should I really be a member of the wolf family?

(I'd like to add that by about 1 year old the delightful smell thing for me went and I struggle to maintain a smile whilst dealing with DD's poos in potties they smell so yuk but I still smell her head though)

DS is 19mo, I still quite like the smell of his farts Grin. His nappies, otoh are incredibly smelly (and not in a nice way).

Yanbu. My ds's poo smells sweet and sweeter when he's had banana purée the day before! My husband thinks I'm mad, but I keep telling him his poo smells gorgeous!! I also love that sweaty cheesy smell inberween his toes!! He's only 5 months, so I know I won't be saying the same in a few years time!

rainy Thank god it's not just me that compulsively sniffs my baby's feet. He thinks it's hilarious but I just can't help it. It's like grown up sweaty feet but nice...

ds's farts stink to high heaven. I am mortiied when I'm out an about that people will blame him (4 months old breast milk fed). That said I have had the odd overwhelming urge to lick him occasionaly. Have avoided it though as it seemed "wrong". Quick poll how many of us have actually engage in baby licking?
