What do you think your baby's poo smells like? I know the answer should be obvious, but I was surprised to find there are some parents out there who wax rhapsodic about the odor emanating from their darling babies' soiled diapers. I get it, to a point. Newborn babies who are breastfed do produce poo that smells a bit sweetish. I would go as far as saying it's not an unpleasant smell. But delicious?
STFU Parents has found the parents who love the way their babies' poo smells -- and aren't afraid to tell you so. Their Facebook posts are about as weird as it gets.
I really like the smell of Kate's poop. I find it oddly appetizing. Sometimes I am really tempted to spoon out her diapers and make a poop smoothie.
Yeah, poop smoothie. That sure does sound appetizing to me.
I kid you not, it smells like buttered popcorn! Wonder if it's because we use these awesome cloth diapers?
It's the cloth diapers? No, I'm pretty sure it's the sleep deprivation that making you smell-hallucinate.
Are you breastfeeding? My sons' diapers always smelled like popcorn! LOL
LOL -- you guys are creeping me out!
It always smelled like buttered popcorn or vinegar to me.
Again with the popcorn...
I can't put my finger on what it smells like exactly...
Oh, I think if you reached out you probably could put your finger on it. But do you really want to?
Not sure which is weirder, the fact that my little guy's poop smells like movie theater butter popcorn or that the smell has been making me crave popcorn for days.
You win. I can't tell which one is weirder, either.
Popcorn, huh? The first time I read it I just laughed. But with each subsequent comment I became more and more disturbed. What are these parents smoking? I breastfed my baby, too -- is it me? Is there something wrong with my olfactory glands that I did not pick up on this popcorn phenomenon? One thing is for sure: It'll be a very long time before I crave popcorn again.
