Yes, my daughter started at 7 as well. Took her to her doctor and 2 specialists. We were told the same and they think there is a link to the kind of food that we’re all eating now. I just bought her an all natural deodorant.
My kids put on Lume after their showers/baths.
Just get him the freaking deodorant like the doctor said. There’s an aluminum-free natural brand at Target called Native. In the makeup section at most Targets, they have a little travel size products area setup. They have the mini sticks of Native in there that you can try for $3 instead of paying $11 for the full size until you see if it works or not. My 10 year old uses it. He likes the Coconut and Vanilla and also got a mini Candy Cane one the other day to take on his trip.

Thts anxiety. Talk to him abt his day to day routine. Help build up his self esteem. I had the same thing as a child and so does my child. When i notice she is nervous more or has some big change. The smell is so much worse. For ex: first day at the new school, first week of 3rd grade.
My youngest is 5, and she wears deodorant. If she doesn’t, she smells worse than her teen brothers…

too young to use deodorant only if their pits don’t stink. If pits stink, you’re old enough to use deodorant. that’s like saying a 9 year old with boobs is too young to wear a bra. If you’re old enough to have them, you’re old enough to wear a bra

Step son is 7 and he has to use it or he smells so bad
I personally wouldn’t have took my child to the doctor for that. I would have just buy some deodorant because I definitely wouldn’t want my child to be made fun of in school .
And to take more shower’s every child is different
I use a natural deodorant on my miss 7. It’s a block one so not roll on.
I would get him a natural deodorant one with less chemicals in it. And make sure he is wash up good.
Yes, that’s about the age it starts. Deodorant!
Arm and hammer has a Deoderant that is more on the natural side but ACTUALLY WORKS. My daughter is the same way has had to use it since she was like 5 but my grandma thought the chemicals in deoderant were horrid for her then we found that so thats my recommendation.

I had to when I was younger too… instill good hygiene now while he’s young
If the doctor says he needs it then he needs it. If it was my kid I would’ve went to that first so she isn’t picked on.
My son had to start using deodorant at 8 no matter how much he showered he just smelled so bad. I by unscented deodorant because he will just put way to much on.
My brother started wearing deodorant at 8, some kids start these things before other and that’s okay!
Why are people being jerks?! Actually 7 IS young for getting hormonal changes that would cause stinkiness. I would have taken him to the doctor too. If they think he’s fine, that’s good! I would however look into his eating habits and see if you can eliminate some sugar or if there are other habits that might be contributing like fabrics he wears or something.
So normal my 8 year old son wears deodorant now for sure. Boy fuuunnkkkk!
We have been using this since the summer time and let me tell you it is amazing! He is no longer funky and even better I’ve noticed since using it that his room his less funky since has less funk🤣 for real!
I wanted him to get deodorant but was really really not into just getting him some Ax deodorant or Old Spice. Just no he’s still young and those are robust strong smells and full of chemicals for his really sensitive skin. This one all natural and scent free! I’ll be buying for both of my daughters first deodorants as well when they start needing it. Also not being 11-20 bucks is really cool as well because all the natural deodorants for adult are hella expensive.lol.
Sorry for some of the ignorance you are getting. I understand you took your son to a doctor from a ""concern of something wrong “” good for you. I would have too because whether people believe it or not it could have been a problem unknown…my nephew was the same at 6yrs old and sweat has nothing to do with the hair factor. Be careful and read ingredients on some deodorants some chemicals can have a reaction that will burn under their armpits. I’m sorry there is no real explanation other than its sometimes very active sweat glands. Good luck
My 8yr old grandbaby has to wear deodorant as well. Hard for her to understand but I’ve told her everyone is different
Maybe his body reacts for some kind of food. My niece had horrible armpit smell after artificial foods, so you could check this too. Also the materials of clothing can have similar affects… Look after these possibilities as well.
Mix 50/50 apple cider vinegar and water, put it in a small fingertip sprayer… just give his underarm a spray and soon enough there won’t be any issues. The apple cider vinegar kills the bacteria that causes the stink and it’s all natural.
My daughter started puberty at 7. The doctor offered medication but we opted against it as it had a lot of side effects. Truly as someone who has been through it, I really would just have him wear deodorant. Not antiperspirant, just deodorant. Our kids start younger and younger.

My 3 year old wears deodorant. He doesn’t need it yet but he likes to use it cuz he sees everyone else use it so I got him his own deodorant.
I gave my kid regular deodorant that young cuz he sinks too. He’s fine.
My daughter had to start using deodorant at that age as well we were concerned but kids grow at their own pace so it was just have a talk show her what to do and move forward
My daughter had to start using deoderant at age 6 no matter how much she showered. When she dosent use it I can defently tell.
So much over reaction to stinky armpits? I feel sorry for you if your kid actually has a real health issue…you need to calm down lady!
I would say just try to find a deodorant with least amount of chemicals.
It’ll go away. My brothers armpits smelled like onion. He wore deodorant took a shower like 3 times a day. Nothing worked. Smell went away on its own 
My nephew was probably about 6 when he started wearing it , my brother called me one day and asked if I could watch my niece while he took my nephew to get some deodorant. My niece was about 4 at the time and when she got there she told me that her “brother needed oderant because he was stinky!” Lol . That boy had stinky feet when he was a toddler and stinky armpits when he was a kid.
Lol I’m not judging but why not just go buy some deodorant? 
That’s a nice comment to tell everyone, haha
Less spicy food, more soap.
I hear coconut oil can work too.
My two boys wear tbh deodorant for kids because they sweat so bad one stinks one doesn’t but it’s easier to get them into the habit now …
My 8 year olds armpits stink so bad! I keep telling her to wear deodorant
Sometimes you have to change the way the kid eats. Stop fast food if he eats it. In cut back on food with lots of hormones in it.

Yeah our daughter when she was 7 had to start wearing deodorant and if she forgets to put it on its very noticeable.
Its called change . my son had a mustache in 4 grade . smelled like he was a teen boy who hadnt shower in days after 1 day

Use anti perspirant/deodorant …not just deodorant …the deodorant only smells it doesnt help the cause …my 9 year old grandson is the same way …it was so strong bout knocked me out but since hes been using it everymorning it has helped …even on the days he forgets to use it .
Kids are starting hormonal changes at younger and younger ages. If he needs deodorant, then he needs deodorant. My daughter started her hormonal changes at age 9, and my son around eight. Deodorant is something small on a bigger scale.

There is something called Lume which is a natural deodorant and works VERY WELL, you should look into it ASAP. But get him some damn deodorant for now🤷🏻♀️ the poor kid is probably so embarrassed having to go around stinking because you dont allow him to use it. Kids are mean and he is probably getting picked on. I dont understand the “he’s to young part”. If its for health reasons I think you should worry about bullying more here and the fact that kids harm them selves over a lot less now and days. Nobody wants to smell like BO

Please get him deodorant. We started with the aluminum free all natural stuff, it worked great for about a year and now we have to get him Dove gentle but it has antiperspirant because he was getting stinky again. It’s actually extremely common for boys to need it around 7/8.
I would look for an aluminum free deodorant for him. Good job momma keeping an eye on him. Sometimes early hormonal changes/ puberty can have an effect on other development. I wouldn’t panic but remain watchful.
He’s to young is bullshit, what would be too young is handing him condoms. So please it’s not a big deal take the kid to the store and let him pick out a deodoant he likes the scent to. He’s not too young, hell my three yr old can get a shower but if she is running around and gets hot and sweaty her arm pits stink of BO. Dr said it’s actually more common then you would think. Research that one if yah don’t believe me and think 3 yes 3 yrs old is too young.

Just because he doesnt have armpit hair, it doesnt mean your son isnt going through hormonal changes which can cause him to have a body odor, plus he is a boy and boys will be boys… they run around, play and sweat…Get him some deodorant and teach him from young about good hygiene. I was 7 years old when my mom got me my first deodorant, she got me teen spirit in the 80s lol and at that time i didnt have armpits hair or body odor, infact indidnt even get my first Menses until i was 12… Also its possible that your son isnt washing himself properly when he is in the shower. like i said boys will be boys, so make sure he showers twice a day to get all the dirt and sweat off him.

Use Lume or Native deodorants. They’re less likely to irritate his skin, and they don’t contain any harmful chemicals (as far as I know) if that’s another concern of yours?
I put deodorant on my five year old boy because he runs around so much and can get smelly I have even hit him with a little of his daddy good smelly stuff as he calls it.

My daughter needs it at 7. Try a natural deodorant- something that’s not antiperspirant. It made me feel better.
Could be his diet. But don’t over think it just get him an antiperspirant. If he really sweats a lot there is a syndrome that causes excess sweat which leads to BO.
Just get the poor child some deodorant!! He’s not to young my youngest son who is now 23 had to start wearing it at the age of 6 because he was so hyper and would sweat all the time and start stinking so a child needs to be taught about hygiene and this is one of the problems you will run into at a young age
My now 9 year old had to start using Deodorant at that age. Not religiously but yes he needed to. While my now 7 year old doesn’t need to yet. They all grow differently. There is several more natural Deodorants if that’s why your worried but if he needs it I definitely wouldnt stop him from using it.
I don’t understand this post, honestly. My son, 18 now and daughter 9, started with deodorant around 5 or 6. Not because they smelled or anything…but because I was teaching them how to take care of their bodies…ya know hygiene! I’m not being mean, but I believe you are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

I dont get it. You are making a way bigger deal out of this than their needs to be. I can only imagine how self-conscious you are making your kid. For goodness sake, just get the kid deodorant! What is your reason for denial? Smh.
Try using plain old lemon or lemon juice on his arm pits, use with cotton flat rounds. It will decrease the smell with time. This is a natural deodorant. I have been using solely this for 2 years now and when sweating my shirts don’t even transpire anymore and the smell is gone. Just everyday like deodorant.
My little sister had extreme smelly pits from age 8 years. The only thing that stopped it was Avon 24 hours deodorant. Mom washed her armpits several times a day and tried everything on the market at the time. Only one product controlled it. I don’t know if that product still exist but it worked well. My little sister is now 51 years old .

My daughter started smelling at 6 or 7, turns out she had an allergy to something in milk. We changed her to organic and never had that problem again. Try changing his milk to organic and see if there is a difference.
Yea my daughter has been stinky since 7 or 8 she’s almost 10 and did start her period this year. Her dr that she’s had since birth said the hormones start earlier now. She sees it in boys and girls. Normally a couple of years before puberty starts. She just has used deodorant for awhile. Not much can be done.
Mine had to wear deodarant young as well… Just get him the basic gel clear so that theres no reaction to it natural perferred hes 18 now and no sides effects
My son had smelly feet as a baby and still does at 7. I haven’t noticed arm pits but to be fair, I haven’t checked. I think some kids simply sweat more than others.
You can use aluminum free products. Since the aluminum based deodorants are highly linked to breast cancer in men and women

My son is somewhat similar. We just have him use non-aluminum deodorant…
Is he drinking enough water? I’d start there and add a natural deodorant.
Taking him to the doctor for B.O. that everybody has might make him self conscious or even give him anxiety. Just get a natural deodorant. Please let the child know that he is in fact normal. Because he is. Don’t worry. You can still call him your baby. You’ll get through this.
Yes my teens are the same it’s like pulling teeth to get them to shower and when they do they get bo It’s normal and they’ll grow out of it deodorant will not hurt them

For everybody’s sake, get him deodorant. The onion/ teenager smell is rank. My son has been NEEDING deodorant since he was 8
My daughter started using deodorant about 2 years ago. Hormones are super fun. But now she has a morning routine.
My 9 year old had to start using deodorant at the age of 6. He smelled soooo bad! I made him start using deodorant and the problem is fixed.
Pre puberty is a thing. Just give him deodorant.
If he’s old enough to stink then he’s old enough for deodorant. Just make sure it’s deodorant and not antiperspirant. Antiperspirants have aluminum in them.
My son did that and the doctor had him take one zinc pill a day…it helped…but that was us.
Let the kid use deodarant not going to hurt him
It’s not rocket science give the kid some dang deodorant and go on with life geez

How about a shower in morning and evening my granddaughter was like that and I looked it up I stead of doctors and it showed a clinical deodorant and it works wonder and yes they do have for boys…
My daughter had the same problems. Just use deodorant .
Mix deodorant with vaseline if it irritates him, my grandson was like that at age 6.
If you are concerned, try a natural deoderant such as Lume.
U needed a doctor to tell u what a lil common sense could’ve? Stop being cheap and spend a couple bucks on deodorant.
