Hahah! I thought the same too when I was doing my confinement!
“Is it because I’m smelly that’s why baby is crying (when I hug them)?”
“Is it I’m too sticky (from all the perspiration) that’s why they don’t like me to carry them?”
But it’s actually not. They’re just hungry and/or gassy stomach, sometimes it just wet diaper. In fact they love it when their mama carries them, so don’t worry at all. I’m not sure how strict your confinement is, but for me, I was allow to on aircon to cool myself, then I carry my baby. I wouldn’t want my baby to associate mama with “smelly” too! Hahaha!!
