Harriette Cole: I think my child is too young for deodorant

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:51:00 GMT

DEAR HARRIETTE: My son has barely reached puberty, and he already has very strong underarm odor. I am afraid to have him wear deodorant at a young age, but he needs something.I have heard such bad things about antiperspirants and cancer. I don’t want to introduce his body to anything that may harm him, but we have to do something. What do you recommend?Smelly PitsDEAR SMELLY PITS: Take a trip to your pediatrician and get your son a physical. Check to make sure it’s nothing more than normal hormonal changes causing the strong odor. Ask the doctor for recommendations for how to get the odor in check.Of course, your son needs to clean his body well, something that is not always a strong suit for adolescent boys. You may need to teach him how to wash his body thoroughly. Do not assume that he knows because you bathed him as a child.Beyond basic hygiene, your doctor may be able to recommend a deodorant — not an antiperspirant — that can help to keep odor in check....

We own a house, both have great jobs and have two wonderful cats.My manager is much older than I am and has children my age. While we generally get along, she has repeatedly told me that I should never have children. The first time, I thought it was a joke. The fifth time, I started ignoring her whenever the subject of children came up because the comments were hurtful.This has made the comments less frequent, but she still often complains about how awful her own children are, how lucky I am to be child-free and how I should keep it that way.My husband and I recently decided to start trying for a baby, and I am now pregnant! We are delighted and so excited to start preparing for our little one. I intend to continue working remotely once I finish maternity leave.How soon is it polite to in...
