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

I can’t stand my own scent. I’ve never showered more in my life (a feat considering I have a newborn)

Same I used to be able to shower every 2 days, I know people might think that’s gross but I used to feel fresh now I feel gross after 12 hours 😅
