Thank you to the moms who posted and the young women who said she dealt with armpit hair early. My husband & I noticed our daughters armpits had some major B.O. when she was around 3 years old. We asked her ped about it but he said it was no big deal. Since we lived in Texas we just figured it was hot all the time and we just needed to give her a bath or shower everyday. We started using one of those crystal deordorant things and it seemed to help, but she still needs a shower or bath everyday. Well today we found two hairs on her armpit! Thank goodness for Google finding this thread for me! I don't feel as scared since I'm seeing my baby, who will be six at the end of Jan, have her body do something I wasn't ready for. Now I can go to the doctor with more than panic.

I hear a lot of comments about the protein and the hormones in the food causing the early armpit odor and growth. My daughter was born with Pku a disorder that makes her unable to eat protein, her diet is an extremely vegan one and she too has the armpit odor and I just noticed today the start of the hair. She is also tall for her age. So I can believe possibly the bone age theory, but not the ingestion of hormones through meat and dairy since she suffers from the same symptoms and doesn't consume those foods.

My oldest daughter is 21 and she had smelly arm pits when she was around 2. Her physician was not concerned in spite of my insistence that something must be wrong. I did not devrlop early as a girl but blosdomed over night sobthis was all new to me. She had her period around 13 and is of average height. Now my youngest who is 6.5 has had smelly armpits and now showing signs of hair growth. We chalk it up as coming from "dad's" side of the family.
