I feel exactly the same whenever I see my son. And he is 5 years old now. So grown up and all.
HN successfully attenuated the magic, by floating out these articles which reduce the magic to chemical factors.
PS - On a lighter note.

This is a very interesting effect. If it is the same chemical, I wonder if it's because the scent sends signals to your brain that indicate that you might be in danger and keeping your cool may be somehow beneficial to your survival...
hmm, could this be exploited for test taking
>We cannot say that this is a pheromone,” says study author Noam Sobel, a neuroscientist at the Weizmann Institute of Science. “But we can say that it’s a molecule expressed by the human body that influences human behavior, specifically aggressive behavior, in a predicted manner.” so... a pheromone?
The scent of various bodily emissions, eg urine, would seem to meet the above criteria, but they are not usually considered pheromones.
I don’t know if this counts as a pheromone, but babies definitely emit _something_. As a recent father, I have had numerous people remark on how wonderful babies smell after smelling my child. I can’t smell anything. People who can smell this particular smell seem very perplexed that I can’t smell it.
I think that's just the smell of that Johnson's baby soap that everyone uses :P

Off topic: You can't smell anything from baby's excrement until they start eating meat.

Or an interview. Although your interviewers might not be too impressed
I brought Grandma along, she wanted to watch. Yes, she's fine, she's just sleeping. Please don't mention the scent, she's sensitive about it.

For serious? The top of my kids heads smelled intoxicating for the first 6-9 months. There is still a special scent but not quite the same. And I smell it on other babies, too. It’s like smelling breast milk, but emanating from the Fontainelle
Also found in rotten horse meat and insect cadavers and that's enough scrolling pubmed for me today. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34653803/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34738202/
