Sweet Smells

Brett woke up in the middle of the night last night (I will blog about sleeping soon) and I brought her into my room to nurse her. I started smelling maple syrup. I thought that seemed strange. I put her back to bed and then googled 'baby smells like syrup' and to my surprise there are a couple of causes. One is the Fenugreek (which I am taking to help stimulate my milk) but it can also be a sign of diabetes or something called Maple Syrup Urine Syndrome. So... I'm going to monitor the situation today and decide if I need to call the doctor.

    It's the fenugreek. :)

    It made me and Jackson smell like syrup, and it also made me crave pancakes.
