My right breasts produces more milk and hence more easily blocked sometimes my armpit have lumps. I am not sure is because of the lumps I feel my right side armpit has a stronger odour. what can I do to reduce it? I bathe twice a day and put on deodorant but i can smell myself... not that anyone complain. Is this normal? I did not get this with my first n 2nd pregnancy.

Not sure if the lumps are causing it. I suspect it could be due to postpartum sweating as well. To get rid of the extra fluid accumulated during pregnancy, your body will perspire and it could be at the underarm regions. To ease your discomfort, you can try: - Wearing loose, lightweight, "breathable" clothing - Ensure good ventilation in the room - Use talc-free powder to help absorb excess moisture Sometimes we could also be more sensitive to our body smells. Ask your loved ones directly (assuring them that you will not be offended), it could simply be your own perception.
