it seems like if we skip the bath even for one night my DD has a smell in her vaginal area. She has had a yeast infection before but she has a rash on her legs with that more then a smell. Just wondering what could be causing it. She has a check up coming up so i will as her pedi but wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this?

TIA

    Is it a really bad smell or just a "regular" vagina smell? After having a boy, I was a bit surprised how dd's area can smell after a day.

    I notice this with DD1 and I think it is a wiping issue. We switched to flushable wipes and I have noticed a little bit of a difference.

    We lovingly call it stinky toddler crotch and blame it on her not wiping well when using the bathroom. We are working with her on wiping better and always check after she wipes, which has helped. Also clean underwear every day - sometimes she will forget

    it sounds like it might be a wiping issue, she has been potty trained for a few months and when she pee's we let her wipe herself and wipe her for #2, but maybe she is wiping improperly. 

    i will try the wet wipes and see if that helps.

    Is she potty trained/training and wiping herself?  Many kids are not good at wiping and then get stinky down there.  I notice it with my kids.  They are at school (PreK and Kindy now but preschool prior) and they wipe themselves and don't a
