i had leaked a little colostrum and we realised it must have been the smell of that, that was sending her weird
But this was because you were leaking it, right?
If you drink a glass of milk, I bet your cat doesn't then come and try and lick your mouth...
I think the concept of having a cat net because we might not want the cat to curl up with the baby is understandable, but the idea that they would be attracted to the baby because the baby drinks milk is madness. Our babies aren't exactly going to be lying there in pools of milk!
I doubt they'd even smell of milk tbh (whereas us leaking mummies will)
