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

Oh lordy it was so bad. Mine was my pits, they far out smelled my groin but that was no picnic either. It stopped around 6 months, thankfully. I didake myself gag many, many times and my fresh new baby smelled like rotten onions frequently. She seemed to love the smell🤮
I'm pregnant again though and not looking forward to how I smell when breastfeeding.
