Breastfeeding and body odour - help!

My DS is now 2y3m old and since he was 6 months I have been terribly stinky. I get bad BO, which I only ever had rarely before when I’d had a long day, but now it’s a daily occurrence! I’ve read about it and it seems it’s quite common for breastfeeding mothers (and I’m still breastfeeding as much as I ever did in the early days).

Has anyone had this and did you find a way to deal with it? I’ve been using glycolic acid under my arms and then a strong antiperspirant, which helped for a while but I feel like it’s not working as well now. I end up having to throw out so many tops because they reek even with soaking in vinegar/baking soda etc. Ach!

Which antiperspirant are you using?
