@armahnismommy David always smelled good, like a chubby lil baby powder ball of yumminess lol. Aadyn smells like rotten food or vomit lol, but I scrub the hell out of him. It is seriously JUST his hair that smells horrid lol
Distilled water, from my understanding, is water that is boiled and the steam that is created is then cooled & condensed back into liquid form. So instead of me boiling water for bottles, I buy distilled (already boiled) water @mama_kat
@armahnismommy hes 5 1/2 months. When I wash his hair during bath time, I get him out of his tub and gently towel dry his hair and brush it with a soft bristle baby brush. He has a head full of hair but its very thin so its pretty much completely dry by the time im done brushing. Now, on days I work, hubby bathes him and I honestly dont know his routine. Ive never seen what he does bc if im home, im the one who does it
Distilled water is the purest water you can get because everything is taken out of it, including minerals. Just thought I'd share lol Not sure how to help with the smelly hair thing though, sorry.
I really think you should make a dermatologist appointment, it would hurt. It could be some kind of fungi like mentioned in that link. I don't think it's your babies "normal" smell lol. Also I highly doubt it's from sweat because you mention it still smells immediately after a bath. even when my daughter sweats (like her pillow is soaked during a nap) she doesn't really smell. I would definitely get a professional opinion. Not the pediatric office either, unless they've heard of it before, they will have no idea and might give you bogus reasons or advice (I hate that!).
My son's hair always smelled good, like fresh snow (& still does @ 2.5 y.o.!!!) But when he was a baby, he produced so much ear wax his ears would get smelly. I just cleaned them w/ a cotton ball. Thankfully, he outgrew it!!!
@math_mommy David always smelled very good, so ive definitely been confused with this. I really dont feel like its a hygiene issue because I know he is always kept clean and he is always washed very well. I'm going to ask a dr about it bc I dont want people thinking I dont clean him! Lol
