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.------------- Mama to two earth walkers & two angels.

I was similar last summer - still BF and just seemed really stinky - partly milk and partly just more sweaty. I blamed BF hormones! ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

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? ------------- Captain Chaos (5) & the Trouble Monsters (2!)

OMG that used to drive me NUTS when I was BF. It's hot and humid all the time here and I could always smell milk Never thought to ask my girlfriends if it was the same for them (in case they said, eww no you stink of milk not us I spose lol) .. but glad to know I wasn't alone! ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
