6 year old body odor

My 6 year old daughter’s armpits have started to smell (pretttty bad 😅). She washes them well in the tub and she has a generally healthy diet and drinks lots of water, no juice etc. is body odor common in this young of a child? I don’t remember when it started for me.

I work for a before and after school program, and trust me when I say those kids stink😂 I love those kiddos but once they hit 1st or 2nd grade the b.o. is insane. I'm with the other commenters, start her on a mild deodorant, maybe take her with and have her pick a smell she likes, turn it into a fun self care mother daughter day!

Also it seems if you have let them put deodorant on before or often or whatever that it happens faster. Sounds crazy but I have noticed that

I’m not understanding why none of my kids are musty yet! Like seriously 😐 they are all boys 😂 I’m playing Russian roulette here

That seems to be happening at younger ages these days lol My step daughter had to start wearing deodorant early. When my son first started wearing deodorant we used that brand that doesn’t have as much chemicals in it. Can’t recall the name, but there are even more brands these days that are more “natural” that I would start my kids off with.
