Hi so I was getting my daughter dressed for dancing this afternoon when I noticed a really bad b.o smell actually thought it was one of the other mums Blush. But then my daughter gave me a cuddle and it was her so I smelt her arm pits and she definitely had b.o.
Is this the start of puberty?
Im going to have a talk to her about washing well around these areas and was going to take her to home bargain to get some nice smelling sparys etc.

Just bumping this for you, OP, and hopefully someone will be along soon.

Best of luck.

Hi
It can be a sign of puberty but it is just an assumption. If you are worried about it than may be you can take her to the pediatrician and make sure why it is happening.

Don’t use a spray - too harsh for little arm pits. A roll on for sensitive skin better such as Sanex
