Not really sure where to put this, but I am going spare at how bad my underarm BO since giving birth 3 months ago.
I had almost no odour during pregnancy and it's like my body is making up for it now. I can't even blitz it with a really strong anti-perspirant as I don't want strong chemicals near DS when he's Bfing. My clothes start to smell after a few hours even after thoroughly scrubbing in the shower.
Google says it's hormonal and will eventually go, but does anyone know when? Never even heard of this as a problem for new mothers... just add stretchmarks galore and unrecognisable boobs and I am feeling such a fittie right nowGrin

Hi, my baby is 3 weeks old and is around 10/5lb. He normally takes around 80/90ml of his bottles but the past 2 days he hasn’t been satisfied so I’ve give him 5 ounces and he’s drank the lot but I’m just scared I will over feed him because of his age, I’m worried about constipation ect.
Any help appreciated x
