If she had a natural birth, probably her mother's kitty smell, started this obsession......

ConcNiggress56:
This isn't a joke..

I've been with the young family during this lockdown period and I observed her closely..

When someone stands up from the chair, she quickly put her nose there. Likes to smell one's fart as well as puts her nose close to rotten food, dirty socks, shoes etc..

It's getting out of hand and the mom is worried now..

Is this normal? Is this a rare medical condition? Will she change this habit over time? What can we do to help her?

Kindly advice

It’s not a medical condition
I did something almost like this when I was a child,when my parents sleep then,I love putting my fingers in their armpit and inhale the smell until they noticed and started beating me for it,I had to stop
So..you just have to beat her (not hard,like a spank and some serious scolding)when you notice such,she will stop I tell you

You could tame it now, it could become a fetish in future.
For a girl that's not funny

Bro, my 1 year 6 month old daughter does the same thing. At first I was cool with it because I felt she just loves to smell us(her mom and i) as a way of bonding but lately we caution her when she does and she's slowly but gradually getting out drift.

I shared one trait with her when I was 5-6 yrs old-smelling a chair that someone just left, but that was limited only to my mum's friends. As a kid, I was an attention seeker so any friend of hers that treated me casually would be sized up by me. If the chair smelt okay or perfumed, I had respect for the person;if it didn't, the person would not get the sweet side of me. I think that has shaped my life both positively and negatively in the sense that I am in LOVE with scents and fragrances but can easily perceive bad smells no matter how faint.

Na really horrific scents

On a serious note,it's something she'll stop as she grows older,don't worry.
When I was a kid I used to like sniffing dust on nets that they put on the window.

Even now,I still like sniffing fresh clean money from the mint

Odor preferences are learned.
Humans aren't hardwired to like specific odors.

What I am trying to say is your 4yr old niece can't differentiate between odors that adults typically find either upleasant or pleasant. At that age, she's simply learning by association.

By age 8 or 10, her responses to such odors will mimic that of an adult so she'll find it repulsive.

To speed her development, just expose her to nice and fruity smells. Don't fret, she's normal.

Edusouls:
That girl ain’t normal, I repeat is not normal at all, searching to sniff repulsive odours at that tender age shows signs of something more sinister beneath and still growing, we live in a mysterious life far beyond our understanding.
