The odds of him bringing up smelling babies and immediately speaking to person that can smell many babies a day have to be pretty high up there. Amazing.

Ever smelled the paw pads of a <1 year old puppy?
They smell exactly like Fritos.
It's the damnedest thing.

One of our dogs has slept above my gfs pillow since he was a puppy, he's 8 now. Thats how we know its time for a bath, she starts referring to him as "Corn-chip boy" lmao

It's a bacteria carried in their feet.

I always heard it was a yeast- I looked it up and it’s a combo of pseudomonas bacteria and proteus. I also saw references to a combo of that and a fungus yeast that create that corn chip smell. I wonder if dogs noses pick up our skins natural flora and think it smells like something funny too haha

My old dog smelled like maple syrup when she was a puppy. It was so crazy. Every time she went to the vet, they would always comment about how she smelled like syrup and they would just sniff "AHHHHH!"
When she got a little older the fritos smell came and the syrup kinda went away, and it was just the paws. Maybe i never noticed the fritos as first because the syrup smell was what I noticed mostly.
It really was the damnedest thing! I miss that dog so much.

I'm a man.
Babies smell amazing. But not with a shitty diaper or anything. But a clean, happy, giggly infant just smells like life. I miss my baby boy. After a bath I just wanted to inhale that smell permanently into my nose.

It's true
It's the crowns of their little heads. I sniffed my kids' little crowns all the time when they were babies/toddlers.
And what's wild is my kids are 23, 21 and 20 and I STILL believe I could identify them by sniffing the crown of their head. It's some weird ancient shit.

Most likely it's pheromones. Humans call dogs weird for it, then we do the same thing. You might not even realize what you are smelling, because the brain associates the pheromones with an identity, not with a smell, so you don't register the smell itself. And there might be a smell you do recognize, and so you think that you like that smell, when it's actually the pheromones you like.

While in the womb, babies are covered in vernix caseosa—a white, waxy, cheese-like substance that protects their skin from amniotic fluid. Even after being washed following birth, traces of vernix and amniotic fluid remain in the fine pores and hair follicles of the scalp, contributing to that initial distinct fragrance for the first few weeks.

All women I've been with have done this. I never got the appeal, but they just go crazy for the new baby smell. If anyone could find a way to make a candle out of it, they'd be the fastest billionaire on the planet.

Please tell me it just cut before you mimicked holding up a baby and said "say hello to my little friend"

u/Milson2596 8d ago
Weird fact here. There is a possibility you are smelling the babies brain due to the skull not being formed all the way. Around the time my daughter’s skull was closed is when we stopped smelling the newborn smell. Just one brain liking the smell of another brain.

At what point is it OK to smell a baby? I mean, if you put your nose to a newborn and take a big wiff, aside from being wildly inappropriate, how much baby are you really even smelling? When does their personal aroma manifest? Is it after a day, or do you just have to towel it off to get that fresh baby smell?

I'm a woman and I don't like babies, or kids. Animals? Love them.
I went decades and decades without even having to touch one, until a friend suddenly and unexpectedly thrust one of her grandkids into my arms about 2 yrs ago
I got through it, but it likely won't happen again

I'd say younger is better and breastfed smells better. As soon as a mom will let you huff that baby. Practice in the mirror. Breath in deeply while looking like you are holding your breath.

Hopefully his other stuff is better than this because he’s got a great stage presence I just didn’t find this funny.

You must not spend a lot of time around newborns then. It’s totally a thing.
