I searched the archives and found one post and one response regarding a 
mother reporting a smell  when she breastfed. I have a mom who is having 
the same issue. She says she smells like onions when she nurses her two 
week old. She says it smells gross! She says her baby's face smells like 
onions after nursing and her non-nursing two year old has the smell too 
after snuggling with mom. Her sister said she smelled it on the baby too. 
No supplements, medicines, new foods, etc in her diet.. The one response 
from the archives is it could be the secretions from the montgomery 
glands. 
I've searched my reference books and LLI website and no mention of this. 
Any thoughts? Any ideas for resolving the issue. 

Thank you for your response.
