    Is perfume a volatile organic compound (VOC)? Some children have really marked reactions to these

    I kind of hope she is sensitive to perfume and just doesn't hate anyone holding her but mummy and daddy?!

    I clicked onto that when Mason was about 6 weeks old. It was like he was a different child after I had my shower so I also started using a milder soap too.

    I have the same problem, if I use any perfume, or use a different soap, she screams and a few times I put perfume on she's actually violently vomited all over me (yes, very nice when we're all ready to go out!). I thoguht she just hated my soap and perfume, but maybe its also because she can't smell 'me'...

    Not sure about your baby, but I am allergic to perfume. can't wear it and cant' be near it, maybe it's an allergy or sensitivity. After all it's so strong and not exactly healthy for a bub. Could be the prob?? xo
