Why do really young people (i.e infants and toddlers) have THAT smell?

[JVS]

What is wrong with those stinking freaks? :-)

[purr]

1. DIRTY DIAPERS!!!

yum!

[Ready4Change]

2. Milk fed.

Like veal. :P

[JVS]

4. interesting

[tridim]

3. Pee, poop and baby powder?

[Floogeldy]

5. OH now you are just being squirrelly!

B-)

[JVS]

6. I'm tired of those pant-shitting trolls fucking everything up

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. They're not trolls, they're parasites

:evilgrin:

trolls are entirely different.

[JVS]

9. I was going to call them dwarves, but didn't want to slander...

the real dwarves and midgets out there by comparing them to something as ghastly as these repulsive beasts

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Because children suck and I can prove it.

Give me an Etch a Sketch or a piece of paper and a crayon and I can diagram it out for you.

:P

I think it's caused by poop.

It's a good question, though - when I was working in the day care center (great job, btw! Hella fun!), it was in the bottom level of a large buildig with a lot of other stuff in it, and I could always smell when I was a good many steps away from the day care center room. It just flowed down the hallways.

10. one word: poop

11. Locking

This thread is offensive to toddlers.

12. My mother says baby shit smells sweet the first six months

Then it changes. After that it's just shit.

[skygazer]

15. Your mother's nuts

No offence.

[Elidor]

16. She doesn't have any

None taken.

21. It's not bad when they're just breastfed and does smell oddly sweet

as soon as the little buggers get formula or solid food the smell kicks in.

Toddler shits are evil, doubly so if they eat a bad diet. I had the misfortune of changing a eight year old once (he'd developmentally disabled, and was just starting to potty train) and I damn near threw up.

13. What???

I love the way babies smell. Before they start ingesting meat their stools don't have a bad odor. And their hair smells sweet and angelic. Toddlers often smell like sawdust and grass and apple juice. What is wrong with that?
OK, I love all the munchkins. It is when they get to be teenagers that they start to get on my nerves!

[tigereye]

20. oh yes

there is nothing like that new baby smell..I miss it. My kid is now nine.

[Spacemom]

14. I think it's a sour milk smell

It collects in all those neck folds. Peee-ewwwww!

[LeftyMom]

22. Oh not the neck folds!

I swear I spent half the day digging sweaty little lint wads out of my son's neck folds. He was so fat ad yet so wrinkly, it was like I'd given birth to an albino sharpei.

17. I'll probably get replies telling me this thread's...

just a joke, which is cool if it is. In case it isn't, I have a couple of things to say in defense of infants and toddlers, especially their diaper areas.

I have 3 sons, and the only time they ever exuded "that smell" was right after filling up their pants. They were always immediately changed, and otherwise smelled sweet and wonderful.

"That smell" comes from children not properly cared for.

[ismnotwasm]

18. Which smell?

I can think of several.

[evlbstrd]

19. There is a unique aroma from babies that is unrelated to poop.

It's a little sweet, and I surmise it to be an evolutionary pheremone adaptation, along with being cute, that keeps the parents from murdering them in their cribs.

[Schema Thing]

23. I love the smell of babies....'cept for that whole crap thing

and even that's not that bad.
