I've read that it can go either way--that some people with CF taste salty, while others don't.
What has been your experience when it comes to salty forehead kisses?
Today I was holding my 4 month old, and she got slightly sweaty from sleeping against my chest. I kissed her forehead and licked my lips, and they tasted salty (I do this often, it's not the first time I've "checked" her saltiness this way). But then I started thinking about it, and it's a pretty normal thing for sweat to taste salty...right? When you're working up a sweat and it drips in your mouth, it usually tastes salty...at least in my experience.
We have a repeat sweat test coming up in 6 weeks, so hopefully we'll know one way or another.
Just wanted to get some thoughts.
