I have a gross confession to make.

[LaraMN]

I kind of like the smell of baby spit-up.
I'm serious.
I got to hold a friend's three-week-old baby recently, and he had that faint odor of urped-up milk.
It reminded me of how my babies used to smell, when I snuggled them.
I'm totally gross.
It's fine.
Just add that to the list of reasons I'm weird. :P

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. Awww. that smell makes me go all mushy and baby wanting too.

:D

Now I have to worry about the possibility of my poor husband going demented because of his vasectomy.

[LaraMN]

3. Hahaaha! Mine too!

At least I can attempt to blame it on the stroke, not the vasectomy!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. i think you are a very cool person..but i have to hide this thread

its making me a bit pukey

:P

[LaraMN]

4. Lol!

Hide away! That's a legitimate excuse, if ever there were one.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. cant. high traffic!

:(

:hi:

[mopinko]

5. yeah. baby smell.

even the smell of breast fed, tiny baby poop makes me a little mushy. i have to wear garlic and a cross around my neck to keep them away.

[LaraMN]

9. Poop, I'm not a fan of,

and thank goodness I can't have any more babies, myself, but holding someone else's little one just brings back memories of a time and a person that disappeared so seemingly quickly.

[mopinko]

25. just those yellow ones

those ocher colored one from the first few weeks. a weird smell, but definitely a new baby smell. after that- glad i am done, also.

[commander bunnypants]

6. my three month likes to whiz on me

or at least drool

Its all good

[LaraMN]

12. Aw! How's the baby doing, now?

Sleeping through the night, yet?

[commander bunnypants]

16. A big nope

I go through with a chronic yawn. How is the hubbuy?

CB

[LaraMN]

19. Ughhh! Hang in there! You WILL sleep well again, some day!

My husband's doing well, thanks. He gets very tired by the end of the work day, and starts to slur his speech and have trouble thinking, a bit, but overall, he's in really good shape.

8. My son is 18 and I still smell his pillow after he gets up in the morning

NO IT DOESN'T SMELL LIKE BABY SPIT-UP x(

But it smells like my baby...the same way he smelled when he was born :cry:

I love him so much!!!! :loveya:

[LaraMN]

13. It's funny how every kid in a household has their own scent,

even before the whole puberty-stink thing kicks in.

[July]

29. Yeah, uh . . . when does that end? nt

[undeterred]

10. ok, I'll admit to liking the smell of wet dog

but I'm not into his bodily functions or anything like that. Water only.

[LaraMN]

14. Oh! That one I definitely don't like!

But I don't have pets, so I'm not a fan of pet odors.

[hedgehog]

11. I'm with you.

It must be Nature's way of making sure we don't toss then out, but everything about a breast fed baby smells good (or at least not so bad!)

[LaraMN]

17. I think it's part of our wiring, too.

I always loved how my baby's hair and neck smelled, and it compelled me to hold them close, near my face. It was probably a bonding thing.

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Is baby yak sticky enough

to hold up your shoe straps?

[LaraMN]

20. I knew what that was going to say, just from the subject line!

:rofl:

I don't like to touch the stuff, I just like the phantom odor of it.

[av8rdave]

18. Funny...as much as I love my kids, I really don't miss

the diapers and their associated contents, not the fluids and semi-fluids a child is capable of producing. But hey, that's just me.

[LaraMN]

21. Maybe it's a Mom-thing.

:shrug:

[av8rdave]

23. It might be...I was on reserve a lot when my kids were infants/toddlers,

so I was "Mr. Mom." I did all the diaper stuff, the formula stuff, the bathing/changing stuff, the reading and bedtime stuff (as well as the midnight feedings). I wouldn't trade it for anything, but I don't miss the aforementioned nasty stuff.

[LaraMN]

24. I'm looking forward to being done with the diapers!

I've been changing one kid or another, for almost nine years straight. I'm hoping to not make it a solid decade.

[av8rdave]

26. Speaking of solid...

it's a nasty job, isn't it?

[July]

30. I like the fresh, clean baby smell (I'm a mom).

There's nothing like it, and with my kids, it only lasted for a little while. Not so big on the urp, though. But, to each her own!

[BluePatriot]

22. Maybe it's not that weird. *shrug*

See the link -- There have been studies related to this.

[Schema Thing]

27. I understand that

[underpants]

28. 1. our girl rarely spit up 2. I have no sense of smell

:shrug:

[GalleryGod]

31. Jeeb-us that is hinky,gross, and skeevey rolled-into-one!
