My ds is 8 and bizarrely has BO. He's a very active child who rarely sits still, and I've noticed in the past month or so that when he walks past me there is a very definite smell of BO. My other son who is 11 doesn't smell at all.
Yesterday I went into his room just after he'd got changed out of his school uniform and the whole room smelled!
He showers thoroughly every second night, I guess I could increase that to every night (gulp) but does this seem normal? Obviously I don't want to give him deodorant at this age, can't be good surely, and even my 11 year old doesn't need it yet.
