A member asked:

I recently discovered that my 7 and a half year old daughter gets bo. is that normal? could it be a sign she will hit puberty early?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Body odor glands are governed by a separate system than true puberty and can become active a few years ahead or the real deal. As long as you rule out any other medical condition producing odd body odor just train the kid on deodorant use and wait for the inevitable.
