Body odor in children

Body odor in children

We have just ruled out precocious puberty with my 5 year old daughter.  She has had adult like body odor for about a year and a half.  The new pediatrician has recommended "bleach baths" twice a week?  Is this safe and is there any other alternatives.  She recommended 1/4 cup in bath water twice a week?  It seems to me that a chemical would be harmful to her skin?  She has a few long pubic hairs and more just small soft hair on the surface, but all tests showed all hormone levels and bone structures were fine.  So just wondering about the body odor recommendation?

Thank you very much for your time!!
