There is nothing like the smell of our baby. How many times have we delighted in aspiring the smell of the little ones, feeling very close to them and also enthralled by smell. We might think that only happens to parents and that they are fantasies of falling in love, but there is a physiological basis to explain why babies smell good. Or, to speak more accurately, why they don't smell bad.
The explanation is that babies do not have active apocrine sweat glands and do not have unpleasant odors after perspiration. In addition, it is added that they hardly sweat, because the mechanisms that regulate perspiration are not fully established.
Apocrine glands produce very odorous substances that are responsible for the characteristic odor of areas such as armpits and sexual organs. Babies and children before puberty have a different smell than adults, since they do not produce apocrine sweat and their sebaceous secretion is lower.
The aromas of creams, gels, children's clothes or colognes, as well as our good eyes or, rather, our good smell do the rest so that the "baby smell" is so nice to us. Of course, the content of diapers is independent of this explanation.
