How would you handle body odor in your child?

I would handle it gently because I wouldn't want my child to feel embarrassed or think something is wrong with them. ❤️ I'd explain the importance of bathing properly, wearing clean clothes, and using deodorant if they're old enough and need it. I'd also make sure they understand that body odor can be a normal part of growing up, especially during puberty. If it started suddenly or didn't improve with good hygiene, I'd check with a doctor. I think the most important thing is teaching them without making them feel ashamed of their own body.

Have you never heard of SOAP and WATER.

its not that simple. some people have gut problems or other medical conditions.

It depends on their age, but normal bathing should be sufficient before puberty. Antiperspirants may be useful if they are older. Ask their doctor about it if if seems to be abnormal.

Thank you for the MHO. 😊

As long as the odor stays "in your child", it shouldn't be a problem.

I would teach them proper hygiene and to be ever vigilant for any possible deviations from what is acceptable.

It should be illegal to stink. No child of mine would smell bad.
