Premature adrenarce: True body odor at the age of two is concerning for the onset of premature puberty and should be evaluated by your primary care pediatrician or endocrinologist, especially if associated with other signs of development such as pubic hair or breast budding. Certain foods and spices can also impart a strong body odor, which is far less concerning. Take note of her diet for her doctor.
