I was just reading something the other day that is a child under the age of 8 or 9 gets consistent BO, it might be something to mention to a pediatrician. Not to scare or worry you but I literally just read that this week.

My daughter went into a false puberty around 6. If you notice any hair growing in his private area or underarms let your doctor know. They check for early puberty vs false puberty by doing a left hand xray it's easy peasy. No needles.
My kiddo uses Tom's of Maine Wicked Cool for girls, but they make a boys one also.

@iltoco I hope my reply didn't sound rude, I didn't mean for it to. My BIL had to see a pediatric endicrinologist and we have docs and nurses in the family, so it was just the most logical step and saved a copay to go right to the specialist because we could.
I guess it's pretty common, the BO and hair growth. Our doc said to stay away from lavender scented products because they've found those to be the most hormone disruptive.

It didn't sound rude at all! We had to get a referral for our insurance to cover the appointment. June was literally the soonest they could get her in and its at a children's hospital in a different city even.

Her pediatrician did say her xrays came back normal so thats good.

If you decide to go the deodorant route I would recommend you choose a natural one without baking soda. I personally use little seed farm or lume

Could be anything from false puberty to a fungal or yeast infection. I’d put a call into your pediatrician
