Take her to her pediatrician and rule out bacterial or fungal infections...
Your child's pediatrician may refer you to a dermitologist (skin specialist)... If both bacterial and fungal infections are ruled out the dr. will prescribe something for the odor..

try a shower in the morning with a soap that isnt harsh, then shower night time. Kids get very sweaty during the day.. It might be fungal though so take her to the DR to see what the problem might be. You should never use deoderant on a child. It can make things worse. Try using 'Crystal', u can get it online or from the shops, you wet it and put it on, it kills all bacteria in that area and its natural (like salt i think) but comes in crystal stick form.

You may have to put fabric softener in the rinse water when you wash her clothes because if she gives off that scent it would still be in her clothes.
Children her age sometimes perspire a lot and usually a good bath helps using a deodorant soap like Safeguard or Zest.
When my fiance' was young, his Grandmother would give him and his brother and sisters a small piece of fresh parsley to chew on every morning to eliminate any body odors. It works on young and old alike.
God be with you.

Deodorant is not suitable for pre pubescent children. Change your soap and get decent soap powder. It is not unreasonable for her to shower in the morning as well as bathe at night. The main culprit is probably dietary. What she eats somes through her skin. Generally kids in a healthy weight range do not have any odour. If she has bad breathe then she has a medical problem.

First off, Colleen O, I am still laughing at your answer.....LOL that was a good one......Secondly, if it isn't anything medically wrong with her, give her a good bath once a day and make sure she's wearing clean clothes. That's all I can think of.........

Try Shower to Shower, if it does not work you may have to get her some Teen Spirit, good luck!

Soap and water works wonders.
