There is nothing comparable to the smell of our baby. Bringing our nose to your skin and inspiring its aroma is one of the most pleasant sensations that parents can experience.
Without a doubt, it is a perfume that leaves us ecstatic, but could you define what does your baby smell like?
I can hardly explain it in words, but I could say that my baby smells like vanilla.
It is an unmistakable aroma, an imprint that is chemically etched in the brain. In fact, a mother is able to identify her own baby by its smell among a group of babies.
The smell of our baby is always pleasant and there is a physiological response to why babies smell so good. They do not have active sweat glands because their perspiration mechanism is not yet regulated, so they do not have a bad smell.
There is also an explanation as to why we feel so enthralled by the smell of our baby. Because it activates endorphins in the mother's brain. Endorphins are natural opiates secreted by the brain at the level of the pituitary gland. Faced with pleasant experiences, this small gland is stimulated producing endorphins, also known as the happiness hormone.
It is not surprising that we become addicted to that particular smell of the baby because endorphins act in the body as a natural drug.
I know it costs to express it with words, but Do you dare to tell us what your baby smells like?
