Smelly 5 year old

Hi Ladies I’m wondering if it’s normal for a 5 year old to have BO.. it’s not offensive and only if I actually stick my nose under her armpits can I smell the BO… there are no other signs of her entering puberty.. she is bathed every single night so it’s not like hygiene
Does anyone have any experience and can suggest a natural deodorant?

That sounds completely normal and there’s no need for a deodorant?
If you have to put your nose under her arms to smell it and it’s not obvious then I’m wondering why you think she needs a deodorant?
Kids get sweaty, sometimes it may smell a little but there’s no way I’d be giving my child deodorant at 5yrs old. Natural or otherwise. A 5 yr old doesn’t need it

Yes kids can get smelly. But no, I wouldn’t be putting deodorant on them.
Also eating certain foods can make you a bit smellier.
