Sorry if this is TMI or wrong section! My 18m DD is still breastfeeding very regularly and I've began to notice since 3-4 months ago that my farts smell exactly like her poo? It is very weird and I'm not the only person that thinks so. My DH too! (Poor guy sad.gif ) Does this happen to anyone?

Mine too...but I thought it was because she eats the same food (solids) as us, rather than anything to do with breastfeeding...?

I'm not a bad mum, I'm a good mum with low expectations
I'd say it is more likely that her poos smell just like your farts. I am sure you don't eat exactly the same diet as your OH all day every day
