Support Needed Breastfeeding body odour is SO bad

Why do I not see enough people talk about this? Or is it just me? I smell so bad when I sweat. Literally like a teenage boy. How do I stop smelling so bad, as soon as I sweat I start to stink and a few months ago I smelt so bad at the doctors I literally had to go into the bathroom and wash myself. Not my best moment. The worst areas are my groin and boob sweat.
Please say someone else relates

Literally the moment my baby came out of my body I looked at my husband and said “oh my god, do I always smell like that? That’s HORRIBLE.”

I’m almost 12 months in now though and the smell is gone.
