Well its rather embarrasing but since having my lo almost 3 months ago I have had really bad body odour. Even if im not hot and sweaty my pits are always stinky... Im also ebf... Anyone else had this issue because sometimes even showering doesnt really get rid of it fully

    LOL... OMG !

    Remember all those hormones that doubled weekly during our pregnancy..

    Well...
    From about delivery to around 5-6 months PP your body is constantly trying to dump them. You may notice your discharge or urine extra strong or stinky. Or your body smells a little different. Definitely your sweat smells yucky after sitting... Especially under the goons and in rolls or creases.. And I'm sure you're sweating like crazy with hot flashes.

    It's your body dumping those hormones and the only way out is through the discharge, urine and sweat.

    Around 5-6 months you should notice it all starting to change.. including your hair will stop falling out or slow sown tremendously.

    I used baby wipes when I noticed the stink and secret clinical stenght deordersnt which is the only thing I found work. I've tried men and womens. Other than that I have no clue.

    @ynvtish I dont remember getting any of those problems with my first child but he wasn't bf (maybe that has something to do with it too) its the middle of Summer here and hot as hell but it was driving me crazy that even after a shower I didn't smell clean... Atleast the end is near lol
