My daughter was also remarking on how strong her own body odor was for the first days...I remember the same thing, and I suspect this must be Mother Nature at work bonding baby and mother by scent... I can remember the scent of my own father very clearly too...which to me is linked to a feeling of safety and security... I wonder how much our own perfume preferences later in life are linked to the pheromone memories of our parents? I remember reading a strange study some years back where they came up with the theory that we tend to be attracted to the pheromones of people who are a good genetic match to us....
