What age have your kiddos started wearing deodorant?? My 7 year old daughter has just started to sometimes smell a little ripe! Anyone have a favorite brand to share?

    There are a lot of chemicals which affect the hormones. Look into the ingredients and see if you can find one that you're comfortable with her using.

    She may not need deodorant though. Look at her diet, activity, and hygiene. Is she cleansing herself properly? At seven, she may still need help or at least a periodic reminder of how to thoroughly bathe. Is she staying active and moving regularly every day? Does she eat a lot of processed or sugary foods? 

    The smell comes from the bacteria and what's feeding it. Address the cause and it will help with the symptoms.
