Question

My 2 year old already has smelly feet when he sweats. What is the best way to help rid of the smell when he wears sandals and is sweating? Powder?

Answer 1

Yes, baby powder can help...but mostly its the sandals...wash his feet when you take the sandals off...thats about all you can do!!!

Answer 3

Ok you are probably going to think this is crazy but it works: put probiotic powder on the babies feet twice a day. The probiotics help return the bacteria to a healthier balance and it is the bacteria reproducing in the sweat that causes the smell, not the sweat itself.

Use an antifungal to clean the shoes every day. 1 part vinegar to 8 parts water, dilute grapefruit seed extract (I think it's 2-4 drops per cup of water), or hydrogen peroxide (3% solution which is what you get at the drugstore). All of these are food safe and non-toxic.

Answer 4

Soak his feet in vinegar and water for however long you can keep him still. Preferably 5 to 10 minutes and dry thoroughly. Do not rinse. Do this every day for a couple of weeks. Try to alternate shoes every day. Give the insides a chance to dry out in between wearings. Have 2 or 3 pairs of shoes to alternate with. This sounds weird, but it worked for my son.

Answer 5

My daughter is 16months and when she wears sandals her feet stink too. I use powder before I put them on and it helps. If I am out all day, I wipe them down with a wipe sometimes when she is really sweaty.
