Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
It is pretty normal for a toddler to have body odor under arms.
Ensure you give him plenty of liquids to keep him hydrated. Sweat with microbes cause odor. Frequent washing with soap and water is essential to get rid of the odor.. If it persists or gets worse consult your doctor..
