During my pregnancy and after the birth of Juniper, my sense of smell has definitely heightened. Justin and I have been putting her business in our dog poop bags, haha. As for us, I caved in and bought Aesop's Post-Poo Drops, but the container broke and can be a bit pricey for going No. 2, so I went ahead and made my own version at a fraction of the cost, but in a spray version. This can live in your bathroom, the nursery, or anywhere in your home. This particular blend has a floral/fruity smell. I swear it works because I used it in the nursery to mask poo odors from Juniper.
