I feel bad for her as she is only 5.

She has a wash in the morning and also a shower in the evening
her clothes are always clean on every day, bu she often comes back from school and she has got hot and sticky and busy during the day and no amount of washing her seems to make any difference.

We are getting worried but dont want to make her aware of it.
The teachers havent mentioned it, but we have parents evening coming up so they might do then?

Has anyone else had experience of this and can i ask what you did about it?

We are reluctant to use deodorants as we feel she is too young but running out of ideas. Thinking of talking to the GP at my own appointment in a few days before I take her along.

My sisters DC both got a bit on the smelly side when hey hit 6 or 7 and she did tak them to the doctors but he said they were fine and some DC sweat more....my sister uses a very plain deodrant on them now...one of the soft stick ones...I think it's Dove. SHe never made a fuss about it but just said "Oh look I've got this for you," and then swiped them both under their arms!

They do it themselves now...just see the doc and ask....do you eat spicy foods as a family maybe?
