A smell only a mother could love

I cannot believe they actually studied this- any mother could have told them that. My sis had a son two months before Tori was born, and we often traded babysitting. I would practically throw up trying to change his diapers, while Tori's didn't hardly ever bother me. (Except that time she had the flu....

).

Agreed, I can change my little swabs' diapers, and no one elses.

Yeah, but the interesting question is why. Is it psycholigcal or physiological?

In my case, I think it's psychological. It's more in my mind.

Probably physiological. New moms can also pick out their child by cry in the hospital nursery. The smell thing is probably just adaptation, not unlike a person who freaks when someone else farts, but has no problem with their own.
