Do we need to report you? Yeah, lock him up for being a proud new father. I'm no expert on babies, but I know that a lot of people love the smell of a clean healthy baby. In fact, it seems to be a hardwired human response. Lots of people, when given a baby to hold, will instinctively put their nose to the baby's head.

Thank you, I didn't quite know how to respond to that. Funny thing about baby smell. When my wife hands the baby to me I can tell if someone other than her has been holding her right away. Maybe it is instinctive. I am just wild about her!

Yeah, you didn't deserve that response from the other poster. Everyone here knew what you meant.

I think there's got to be some instinct involved. Nature has to find ways of making men, who in their normal state are pretty indifferent to babies (at least this is the case for me and the guys I know), go wild for their own like you are for yours.

congratulations on baby. There is a special scent about them (except when you have to change them). Just didn't want you to end up in jail like that guy who tickled baby's belly . We have to be politically correct.

I posted earlier, then I remembered baby smell. I love a baby after they've just had a bath and their hair washed with "Baby Magic"....I'll give my 10 month old grandson a bath just so I can smell him afterward. LOL
