Excess sweating since having baby

Has anyone else suffered from this?

I had my LO 6 months ago and for the past couple of months have been suffering from excess sweat - everywhere on my body not just my armpits. I have to spray deo throughout the day and it doesn´t really do much good. I shower every morning and bathe in the eveings.
Could it be hormonal...?

I get this. My dd2 is nearly 2 and I am still bf her - yes, I think hormones do come into it. I wash several times a day. Try to avoid sprays and artificial deodorants though as they are not good for you or your baby - health food shops have more natural alternatives.

Thanks TT. I too am breastfeeding - maybe that has something to do with it...?
I was never sweaty before

It came as a shock to me too. I didn't get it with my older 3 dcs though - don't know why.

I've had this but it doesn't seem to have gone away since stopping breast-feeding so not sure about the hormone thing. Have just been thinking the last few days maybe I should mention it to the GP as with the warmer weather I've been needing two showers a day, it's horrid!
