you know what I mean when I talk about that newborn baby smell. There should be a newborn scratch and sniff for this smell and it made me giggle as this newborn smell is so good!

There is literally nothing better than the amazing smell of a baby's head. If you know, you know. I actually love it. It makes my ovaries happy and there is nothing more relaxing than snuggling a newborn! It makes me happy.

There is actual science behind it too! When you smell a newborn's scent, research shows we experience a similar dopamine surge to eating delicious food, having sex or even a high from drugs! Dopamine is your 'feel good' neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure, reward and motivation! And what's more is that researchers found that this dopamine surge occurs in women regardless of whether they are mothers or not!

It makes sense really. Smell is one of our primal senses. It is strongly linked to feelings of bonding, protection and nurturing between an adult and infant. Even if they are their offspring or not. That newborn smell inspires this primitive urge. I can't explain to you what that newborn smell actually smells like.

That feeling is just beyond words! 🥹🤍
