Moms Prefer Smell of Their Own Baby's Poop You're welcome.

And I certainly hope we don't have to have the whole "one-link" discussion in this case.

  • I prefer the smell of my 'trouser coughs' to anyone else's. Same thing?
  • LOL.
  • Hi Warrior!
  • Man, I hope them mothers was gettin' paid to participate in the study.
  • This is another damn one link post. And it's one link too many. Whew! Open the window, will ya?
  • Mothers, or particularly new mothers, or at least the ones I've seen on television, seem to have an extra sense for poop. Which is just as well I guess. I'm not against it necessarily.
  • We need one of those blind taste-test thingies like with the pepsi & the coca-cola & the hoy-hoy. & we use Monkeybashi as subject.
  • Yeah, pete. I find it very hard to believe you couldn't find any other poop links on the internet! And no, that's not a challenge...
  • If someone asked me to define MoFi, I think today's first three FPP headlines would do the job.
  • Okay, so I admit that newborn babies' poop doesn't smell that bad, but when you consider that breastmilk (and formula, presumably) taste super-duper sweet, I wouldn't be surprised if it's part of the whole evolutionary get-mothers-to-bond thing. (And after reading the link before posting this, I see that's sort of their theory too.) I always thought newborn-baby poop smelled like something in between KFC and buttered popcorn. My mothers' group friends and I could distinguish which of our crawlers had pooped. Needless to say I never eat KFC.
  • HI koko!!! it's been a whiiiiiiiiile.
  • *scratch scratch scratch* SNIIIIIIFFFFF
  • after reading the link before posting this Blasphemer!! She's a witch! Burn He- . . Oh. Ummmmmm. Yes! Well. *cough* Ah, nice sidebar. Here. NO CARRIER((([[[##$
  • That is truly disgusting, tracicle.
  • Original or extra crispy?
  • Usually original, rarely crispy. Sometimes spicy!
  • /heave
  • So, the dad's prefer other babie's poop? My wife has nearly vomited on several occasions, and my son has, while changing the little girl's soiled mess. I must admit, she is a stinky baby.
  • Choosy moms choose JIF.
  • I think that's "Choosy moms choose whiff."
  • I choose to avoid poo as much as possible. My own? Well it smells like almonds though, through some strange metabolic quirk tastes like, as I am informed by others, hazelnuts with just a hint of carmel. Quite delicious I should imagine. I don't even eat that many nuts.
  • A query about the name RandomAction popped into my mind... but I refuse to pursue it.
  • Monkeyfilter: in between KFC and buttered popcorn Oohhhh... I'm gonna love my next visit to a movie theater... *stomach churns*
  • Hmm...buttered popcorn Jelly Bellies. Zesty.
  • For the record: I do not prefer the smell of anyone's poop, let alone my progeny. And you can keep your Anal Air to yourselves, thanks.
  • BlueHorse do not fear, I feel sure I simply sat on some strange confection that long summers day. And so with no pants on, ingested it somehow. It is the only logical explanation. Anyhoo poop smells bad for a reason, god said 'engage' or something similar, whilst looking rather dapper and pooping not ever. According to my ancient belief god has no anus.
  • Some where in Washington...... (bespectacled underling) - "Hey Boss! I just received an interesting proposal. There's these guys see. And they want to do a study to see if mothers like the smell of their own kids poop better than say...a strangers kids poop. Says here they only need 1.2 million to do the study. Whattya say?" (Heavyset man in a pinstripe suit with a handlebar mustache) - "I like it! Stamp it approved!"
  • Yes I read the link. Yes I clicked on "When a Woman Smells Best" at the bottom. Yes, I found this quote there: "The women didn't wear perfumes, use deodorants, eat spicy or smelly foods, smoke, drink alcohol or use hormonal contraceptives such as the pill." I think that particular story is flawed. I read no more.
  • It took until my child was almost 3 before I could start eating buttered popcorn again.
  • I knew this lady that checked every one of her kid's poos for consistency and color. The kid was like 6.
  • MonkeyFilter: I knew this lady
  • I prefer folger's crystals, myself.
  • I have GOT to post a comment from the Filter That We Must Not Name: I found that with my own kids, when they were nursing, that their, um, fragrance smelled a lot like mine. As they get older they develop their own odor fingerprint, if you will. (It's all part of the beauty of growing up. The kids take their first steps, then before you know it, their farts smell different then yours. It tugs at the heartstrings.) posted by Decani at 7:02 PM PST on July 12 Isn't that precious?
  • in a farty kind of way, yes.
  • The Scoop on Poop Didja know birds don't have a sphincter? They have a multi-purpose hole. News you can use, folks.
  • Okay, it was interesting until the pinworms part. Now I'm all grossed out. Blech.
  • MonkeyFilter: They have a multi-purpose hole. Pete made me do it.
