Body odor in almost 5yo boy?

[Lady Mayapple]

DS has always been the hot-n-sweaty type of kid. He complains constantly of being too hot, rarely wears anything more than shorts or underwear in the house. I woke him from a nap a few days ago, and at first I thought it was me because I hadn't showered yet, but I sniffed his underarms and indeed he does have a little bit of odor there. DH insists this is normal, and I did look it up and I guess a little bit of stink is normal in little boys. He also has a good deal of very light "peach fuzz" hair on his back and legs, but maybe that's normal too because DH is a pretty hairy guy What do you think? Should I be concerned?

My son is 5 and he definitely has body odor if he goes more than 2 days without a bath or if he has been especially active. It was suggested to me to use a high quality soap and make sure to rinse the armpits well.

Dial soap worked well for my dd.

Yep, my 4.5 yr old son is a stinky monkey!

Thanks everyone. DS is THE most ticklish kid in the entire universe. Cleaning under his arms is quite a challenge. Hopefully I can get him over the tickle part. He just bursts into giggles when I lift up his arms!
