Aloha,

Just my .02 on this one.  I have always breathed in the scent of my
babies.  I love the smell of birth.  Interesting note about the birth of
my first.  Initially, the smell of blood reminded me of my science lab
classes, while the smell brought memories of war to my husband---two
different worlds.

The Vietnamese smell their children.   They smell rather than kiss
children.  I have happily adopted this with my own children.


Aloha,
