My 16 month old daughter has underarm odor, how can I get rid of it and what causes it?

Question:

Answers:
bacteria. Could be a yeast infection or other bacteria. Could be a chemical imbalance. Could be nothing. See your pediatrician.

Other Answers:
give her more baths

It may be caused by the food she eats. Ask your pediatrician.

You should feed her mashed up bananas.

Odor is caused by foods that are bad for you.

You can put powder under her arms or take her to see her doctor. Or just give her baths.

lynda_is is right. You're not feeding her enough greens.

Sometimes it can be something as small as the food she eats or her juices. Maybe she could stand to drink more water. I would use unscented baby powder under the arms. Less a chance of a rash if it doesn't contain fragrances.

Bathe her more thoroughly, and try to put powder on her sweaty spots.

use hugo boss

I agree with all the above - so see your doctor. You want to check also that an underarm crystal may be suitable to use - it lowers the pH and thus does not promote the growth of bacteria. But please do check with your doctor to see if it okay to use with a 16 month old.

deoderant, everybody uses it
"clean, clear, and under control"
that's the slogan of a femanine deoderant
or "strong enough for a man, pH balanced for a woman"
apparently women are more acidic than men.
