Smelly little boys!

Is there such thing as deodorant for 3 year olds?  My son sweats a lot and his armpits get SO smelly.  Not just little boy smell, but like serious B.O.  I thought he wouldn't start stinking like that until he was a teenager!!

You might want to check with his pediatrician. My 7 yr old, who is very active does not need deoderant yet. But all kids are different! We have not had this issue with any of our three boys.

I agree with the previous post. Unusual body can be a side effect of something else going on with his little body. If your pedi says it's fine, I'd get their advice on what deodorant to use. Maybe a light dusting of baby powder.

Typically you hear about the 5th grade funk, not much before that.  I'd probably check into it just to be sure.

This might sound strange, but I have a friend with little boys who smelled like B.O. until she switched to organic milk and meat. I guess the hormones in regular milk and meat were messing with their systems. You might want to try that?

Yup. DS sweats like crazy but it doesn't smell.
