Please stop her cheese intake if it's very regular (kraft cheese in our case) and if it's not cheese and regular ice cream (cold stone strawberry flavor in my daughter 's case ) and see if that makes any difference because that's what helped my 4 yr old when she had the same adult odor problem. As soon as I stopped her kraft cheese and ice cream intake she stopped smelling bad in her armpits. It took a few weeks but it worked. She doesn't smell anymore even though she has ice cream sometimes and quesadillas very rarely. Plz try this. I hope this works for your daughter too.
I have the same problem my child will be 6 in 5 months time and for the pass 2 weeks she's had REALLY bad smell from her armpit which is really worrying and upset as she's still young and a girl as well.. she baths every single night and most of the time during the day too
I have a Chiropractor buddy who is also an herbalist, I will see his point of view. In the mean time, Baking Soda tryouts begin this morning.
I'll keep you updated with Chiro buddy.
I have the same problem with my 6 years old daughter, but only after we moved to the philippines from canada. I guess weather wise, philippines is a tropical country more summer, less rain. I noticed the smell after she plays or dance. Even when shes just sitting watching, due to very hot weather she gets bathed 2-3 times a day. Until recently after reading an article about this concern, i started searching for a deo thats not anti perspirant. So i found Deo Nat. Its a mineral deo thats is aluminum chlorohydrate free and preservative free. And it really works very well. No smell from morning till night.

I have to give my daughter bleach baths (fill bathtiub half full and add 1/2 cup liquid bleach)twice a week for eczema. I have to do this to kill bacteria to keep the eczema at bay. smells typically come from bacteria, so I am wondering if this may help with kids with premature body odor. it will definitely help kill off the bacteria. A couple of times per week doing this with good cleansing routine on the other days might help with the situation.
My 6 year old has some smell under her arms after playing hard outside, so I make sure she baths good in addition to the bleach baths 2 times per week. I also made some powder out of cornstarch and added lavender which is also a natural approach to killing bacteria. I use cornstarch and lavender powder under the arm to keep her smelling fresh. I have also on occasion used vinegar on a washcloth to clean the underarm if soap does not do the trick. It works like a charm and the vinegar smell wears off quickly You can always make your own vinegar spray and mix it with water and lavender.
