My Babies Skin Tastes Bitter

My youngest son who is 7 months old has bitter tasting skin all over his head and body.  He has had it since birth and both my husband and I can taste it.  The taste lessens after his bath but soon comes back again.  I would very much appreciate it if anyone could suggest reasons as to why this might be happening to him.

Thank you.

OMG, people!!! WHY do you think the only way to experience this is by LICKING your baby?!?!? Common sense here! Do you not kiss your baby?!? Do you not ever play with them by pretending to "bite" their fingers?!? Heaven forbid, let me explain "bite" to you! ........ I mean REALLY!!!

janinag24...I hope you find out what you're looking for. I got on here looking for a friend of mine who is experiencing the same thing with her baby girl. Good luck to you!

Um, I'm a little lost and confused and kind of weird-ed out by this. WHY are you tasting your baby? I've never heard of this. Is this normal?
