Why do parents love when baby's poo??

I mean mate, who in the world loves when someone poo's? When it comes to their baby, parents tend to feel a special relief every time the baby poos. I cant remember the study I read this in but it was a long time ago.

A baby's poo speaks a lot. It not only smells, and looks disgusting, but also shows the health of the baby. So careful inspection (by that I dont mean poking with a spoon) will reveal a lot of things a parent needs to know about a baby's health issues. So is it that parents know this and that's why they feel what they feel or is it like a natural, instilled knowing. Instinct???

Where did that come from? What chemicals run through humans who know this, and feel this? Whats up with human beings?

I think you need to cite the report you are thinking of. It does not sound right to me. I suspect something is being taken out of context, or exaggerated.

But it is true that the colour and consistency of faeces can tell someone a fair amount about the digestive health of a person. So for a baby, who can't communicate in words, the parents will focus on whatever signals they can to assess how the baby is doing. Also, having a child - or even caring for another adult - does make one get over the yuckiness of bodily functions to some extent. Any nurse will tell you that. But "love" it? Nah. Sounds like ballocks.

As @Kooky asks, why have you posted this in Religious Debates? What is the point of religious debate you want to explore here?

You are right. I should cite the report. Will try, since there is no authenticity without giving reference to it. I can just say with confidence that "no", it is not exaggerated, but not verbatim. ;)

I think you misunderstood the post. Or maybe my articulation is not good enough. When I say love, I dont mean the poo. I mean the occurrence.

Newborns can easily become constipated. Parents are relieved to know their child is not.

I have very recent experience with this (like in the last week).

So you have no religious point to discuss? I see.
