Love this post from @the.breastmilk.queen • • • • • • Why mamas love that new baby smell ❤️⁣ ⁣ Are you in love with the smell of your babies breath ? Like you want to eat them ? ⁣ ⁣ It turns out that the fact you want to gobble up your sweetie isn’t your fault - it’s biology. ⁣ ⁣ Scientists have recently learned that in new mamas, the body odour of newborns activates the centres of the brain that perceive rewards and pleasure - it’s not surprising that is becomes addictive. ⁣ ⁣ I LOVE the smell of a breastfeed babies breath and that newborn smell is intoxicating!! ⁣ ⁣ Hands up who is addicted to their babies scents 🙌🏻🙌🏻
