What Causes Body Odor In Child Even After Bath?
When my son was 6 1/2 he developed horrible body odor and I increased his showers to every other day. Now, he just turned 7 and I have noticed that he has body odor the following day after a shower. I am still using a baby body soap, should I start using adult soap? Should I shower him daily? Thanks for your help.

Dear parent,
In normal course one shall take bath daily. Especially kids, as they are playing and sweating more. If physical activity of your son is high and he is smelling then bating twice is a good idea.
As far as soap is concerned any soap is good. But don't over use soap. You can apply moisturizer after drying him up.
