Never too early to learn about good hygiene. Get him some deodorant.
I would ask to go to a internest or dermatologist if you feel it’s not right keep pushing forward but some kids do mature before others but not that soon

Well I think you’re right. Seems too young to need deodorant. My 9 year old doesnt even smell and hes bigger for his age. I understand your concern, unlike all these other judgemental assholes.
My 8 yr old has to wear deodorant already. I would look into Lume if you want a natural choice.

My son is 7. He is autistic, anxiety and sensory processing disorder and has been needing deodorant since he was about 4. No matter how much he scrubs, how strong the men’s body wash is he smells like high school football player. Drs have tested his hormones. But his normal temp is 99.8 so he runs hot, wears shorts all year…in pants he vets too hot he gets sick. Drs told me it just happens with some kids its normal. But I also have friends who’s kids had this an found heart problems later (excessive sweating for the age/smell that was just brusd off as over active child sweating). And I’m in many autism and anxiety groups and a lot of our kids have this issue as the body make up is different. Just find deodorant. My son thought it was so cool being like all the big sports men! And even found body spray (axe, power stick) to use in addition quick if we need it. Keep one in vehicle for run into store, and at home just to help now and then. And shower morning and night…and it helps. If u have a super sensitive nose like me you still notice a faint smell but its way better.
Kids are going through the beginning stages of puberty earlier and earlier. I have 5 boys, they all are the same, same genetics, same gender, same everything. Some went through puberty earlier than others. It’s not the meat or all my boys would have at same time and age, so that person needs to educate before claiming things. I know there’s hormones in our food, and yes it could add to it, but it is not solely responsible. Now that being said, I understand you not wanting your baby to grow up so fast, but facts are facts, you said your child stinks. So have him use the deodorant. You don’t want him getting made fun of at school and being teased and shunned because of something he can’t help. That’s cruel. Kids are mean. Adults can be mean. Let the kid use the deodorant. It’s hard enough to do so once they’re older, start these good hygiene habits early. Get some testing done for imbalances, and see what the results are, so maybe this can be a short term issue. But still have him use body powder, or deodorant. It’s not gonna hurt him. And letting him just stink is not okay by you as the parent. Good luck, I know it’s not easy.

My daughter has smelled like onions if she didnt wear deodorant since she was 2 years old. Its a hormone imbalance. Their bodies cant process and tolerate hormones in food products so instead the excrete it through their pores and its stinky. The cure is to cut out dairy or go all organic, hormone free. Its not a huge issue and can be controlled through diet changes and good hygiene 
My son got that funky boy stink about that age too. Both my kids used deodorant at that age. There’s nothing wrong.
Just start talking to him about hygiene and keeping clean. Find a deodorant your comfortable with if your worried about the ingredients.
I found the most natural deodorant an Aloe Vera one as my son was the same and like you I felt he was too young deodorant with all their chemicals! I also started needing to wear deodorant at around the age of 8yrs old myself & I’m 43 ! It’s nothing to do with eating meat, when you think generations ago we only lived to mid 30’s and has children much younger it’s just that it was acceptable then due to our age span. Try not to worry it’s all part of growing up x

My son started having body odor at that age. What I have found to work best is after showering I have him spray rubbing alcohol on his armpits and let it dry before applying deodorant. The alcohol kills the bacteria that creates the odor and makes the biggest difference.

My sons 7 and started using deodorant when he started kindergarten. He wanted to be like daddy and smell good and his armpits started getting stinky around 6 years old. Nothing wrong with it. Teaches good hygiene and it’s a part of life and growing up.
My daughter is 6 and she wears deodorant. It can be beneficial to start teaching kids good hygiene at a young age.
Might sound weird but if you rub lime and get them soaked with the juice for a couple of hours then he can shower and use an antibacterial soap bar it should do the trick. Mexicans do that lol it works magic

Uhh why would you feel he’s too young for deodorant? Maybe you should just start teaching proper ways for good hygiene. Whether he’s a very active kid or sitting in his room all day, they can and will start to sweat/smell. I personally find it more odd that a parent is looking for reasons to not use deodorant vs just getting their child deodorant. It’s part of life🤦🏻♀️

My son started at 9, he’s now 11 and in full on puberty lol it usually starts with the stinky arm pits. 
Everyone is different! I started my period when I was 9, I’m almost 29 years old. He’s not too young for deodorant, it just seems like it because he’s your baby! I felt the same way. 
My daughter has been using deodorant for a few years now and she’s 9. I was about that age. Never once thought something was wrong. It’s a natural part of life. Some kids sweat more than others.

My son is 11, hes gone though it all to even his voice breaking. He loves lynks and Nivea for men and all the others, I say if hes becoming a man let him, just teach him about personal hygien from now or he’ll grow up to be the stinky sweaty man you bork at in a supermarket. The stronger the deodorant the better no one likes smelling like sweat! And if your son can not use the deodorant can method get him roll on! He will thank you for it in the long run he dosnt want kids picking on him at school if there not going though the same thing trust me kids can be cruel, my son is one of the eldest in his year and hes the only one with a deep voice, his voice changed in lock down so when he went back every one was like what is wrong with your voice they couldn’t grasp it, the other lads dont understand they will change soon to, so please help your child, tell him about deodorant and why he needs it and what will happen to his poor body and his voice ect they need to be prepared, I was lucky that my son laughed it of and just got on with it, it just becomes expensive when he finds new brands he likes lol🤣

My step daughter had to start using deodorant around age 8, it’s just genetics, her dad is a sweaty guy. We talked a lot about what causes the funky smell i.e. bacteria on the skin and why she needed to bath more often than other kids her age. I think making it normal no matter what age is okay.

If you think your child is too young for deodorant, you get baby cologne, i use it on my 2 year old…
Help for the odor would be to use a natural (without harsh chemicals) deodorant. Or even some pure cornstarch, since it sounds like you are concerned because of his age.
How exactly is he too young for deodorant? If he stinks he needs it. You don’t want him to be the smelly kid at school i promise… just let him use deodorant and make sure when he bathes he is really washing properly

Deodorant is safe. Have him bathe well and use some. They get excited to see mommy and daddy use it.
Their hormones are starting to kick in and it’s the start of his journey. He’s growing up and only has a few years before big puberty kicks in. It doesn’t happen all at once momma.

Why in the hell is it too young? Does he brush his teeth? It’s personal hygiene if he needs it buy it for him and teach him now! When he gets to be 13 youll be wishing you taught him…instead youll be arguing with his stinky ass to get in the shower and use some… Lord help us all…
7 is too young for deodorant, it can cause the pours to clog and then sores…those that are saying it isn’t too young are wrong…use something natural like cornstarch, wash frequently or baking soda
There are TONS of recipes on pinterest for natural deodorants. I also have a few of these scents, they work great!
Mens speed stik deoderant is aluminum free and works. Not antiperspirant just plain o deoderant.
Honestly, get him the deodorant. He’s not the first 7 year old to need to use it, and he won’t be the last. All of our kids started using it at about that age.
There’s lots of different types of it out there. If your that worried about it. See if you can find an organic one.

My 6 and 7 year olds smell horrible!!!
My now 10 yr old has been using deodorant since he was 6! He stinks and there was no way around it.
My oldest son started with the arm pit smell too around 7. Especially in the summer time. Theyre always outside. I didnt stress it, figured he was just at that age, and being in school with other kids, i started buying him little mini sticks of deoderant for him. 1 for home and 1 in his back pack for school. He LOVED the idea, that he got to wear deoderant just like his dad. Remember, These little boys, are mini men right now. Little stink now, with education on handling his own hygiene, will help later on!! I feel like it sets them up to handle themselves better when theyre grown. Just how i felt on the topic.
Might want to investigate what he is eating, or inhaling in your house, do you smoke around him? U release toxins through your skin, So it may be something regarding either of those situations, also probably needs to drink more water and eliminate sugary drinks

I have several friends who’s kids started deodorant around that age. It’s normal. Get him deodorant.
Yup let him use dove powder scent deodorant yes its fir women and its very mild. Wash his under arms with soap and use a lime or lemon after and scrub them rinse with cool water and use deodorant smell will be gone adults can do this as. Well.
Natural remedy that works…get about 4/5 avocado leaves and boil in a small pot of water till its brown…use this 3 times a week for 1 month. About 1/4 of a glass…There is hardly any taste but for the younger kids we would mix this into their teas milk whatever but this works great and it really does help. Trust me!
You have 2 choices mom. Put deodorant on the kid or let him stink. You have to pick one.

Is there a reason you are so against him using deodorant? There’s no age requirement for deodorant. I’d be happy they are saying there’s nothing “wrong” and he doesn’t need any meds or treatments, just deodorant. Also my 4 year old gets stinky when he sweats so we let him use deodorant. He thinks it’s cool and fun cause he’s “just like daddy”. Idk I guess I’m just not understanding what the big deal is
Buy the kid deodorant.
Just try deodorant what’s it gonna hurt
I have twins and the one Lord that boy stinks like a grown man…called his Dr and they said the same thing…no pubic hair nothing to worry about…he also gets horrible rashes under his arms especially in the summer so we can’t use most deodorants. Axe he had a horrible reaction to…we ended up choosing one from suave men and it works perfect
My 4 year old wears deodorant and body spray everyday, not because he stinks but because he sees mommy and daddy do it every day.
I’d rather teach about personal hygiene at a young age rather than fighting with him to put it on when he actually stinks.
