smelly armpits

I have a 3yr old child that has strong underarm smell since she was a baby. I started using deodorant to control it.

I have the same problem with my 4 year old who is very hygienic in every sense of the word. I just found this website which is very useful. Please take a look.

Did you ever find anything out about how to control your daughters smelly underarms?  My son is almost 2 and has had very stinky, smelly armpits for about 6 months or so now.  He has some health issues and is on many medications (he just had a kidney/liver transplant).  I have asked his pediatrician, his tx doctors, and his endocrinologist about this and everyone is at a loss.  They say that sometimes babies go through some kind of early puberty but they don't believe this is his case.  Any ideas?
