Breastfeeding/pumping and body odor
Show your support
Uhm yes! I had heard of this and thought I was in the clear because my daughter is 8 weeks and I hadn’t had any issues. Well after my first postpartum period I now sweat so much and stink 15 minutes after I shower!
@Madison i was like that during pregnancy but the complete opposite now that i am nursing & pumping
Yes I am over it lol
@Willow same thing happened to me but I went away at like week 3 but whenever I nurse I can smell it
Yes! This is my 5th breastfed baby but the first time dealing with b.o. because of it. Two things that are helping a bit is washing (whole body) with PanOxyl 10% benzoyl peroxide acne wash and wiping my pits with alcohol before applying my deodorant.
@Willow I use dove cucumber in the morning and at night after I shower I use an antiperspirant. I will slowly go away. Don’t cry ☹️ like the other moms say, it is for our babies to be able to find us.
I use Lume body wash and deodorant and it seems to help
Yes!! It’s super normal and a natural and common thing so baby can find mom and find food but sheesh it sucks lol. Mine definitely got better around week 6 or so but it’s still not great. I’ve been washing my underarms with antibacterial soap and it seems like it’s helping
personally no! are uu talking any supplements to help with lactation that have fenugreek in it??
