Don't worry, it's not just you love...  I've noticed the same kind of odor with the increase in humidity, regardless of how often I shower.

I was similar last summer - still BF and just seemed really stinky - partly milk and partly just more sweaty. I blamed BF hormones!

I wonder if the hormones also make us particularly sensitive to the smell? I'm pretty sure we don't smell that way to anybody else (except our babies of course!)

heh I can smell milk but no one else has complained ... yet. Unless no one says anything because they expect breast feeding Mum's to smell that way?

Can't say I've ever smelt it on a BF woman so my guess is it's just your increased sense of smell due to hormones.
