I work with kids at my job. For the last few weeks I've noticed that any little baby (8 months and under) that I've held keep nuzzling against my breasts or try to go down my shirt. One baby actually started suckling on my shirt over top my left breast. Can they smell milk even though I haven't leaked this pregnancy?
Lol. It's funny you say this because it happens to me all the time & even when I heard another baby crying I'll feel a milk let down & start leaking. Lol. I've gotten use to now though.
I'm convinced they can because the same thing is happening to me even my puppy is trying to get to it
Yes they can smell the milk . When I go to my dr appts I've had a breastfeeding peer counselor come In several times and she said they can that's why they encourage especially breastfeeding mothers to do skin to skin because when they are on your breast they can smell the breastmilk .
