| Doesn't it irritate his skin? If she wants him to smell good just use baby lotion on his skin...spray J&J no more tangles in his hair...use the baby stuff IMO. Plenty of good smelling 'bath' stuff for kids out there! |

| No way I would spray all those chemicals on my 2 YO. A bar of soap, that's all that is needed. |

| Gross. But no more so than all the other scented products marketed for babies and kids. |

| And if she really wants him to "smell" better, she can get roll on essential oils. |

The chemicals in that or any body spray can not be good for a small child. Or a grown up. Or anyone.
Maybe she should try old school Ivory soap. |

I'm gonna have to agree with this. I will stand up as the sole dissenter. An occasional spritz for a 3 year old boy is CUTE  I've never smelled AXE anyway. It's a little off putting for him to smell like a man, though.
Also, I painted my daughter's toenails last night. *ducks stones* |

Pretty sure early & extensive exposure to perfumes increases allergies later on in life, so I vote weird with some notable downsides.
If we wants an alternative, she can use coconut oil as a hair conditioner or as a body lotion for her kid. Subtle and shouldn't cause any health issues for her kid or his classmates. |

| No mentioned this. It will attract bugs. When he is playing out in the yard, he will have a cloud of mosquitos, gnats, bees, etc. because they are attracted to sweet smelling things. I figured this out when I would have a cloud of bugs around me, and dh wouldn't. I asked the dr, and he said the same thing. If you eat sweets or put scented body lotion, hair spray, perfume, deoderant on yourself, then you are a bug magnet. |

I am the OP, and have rarely posted on Dcurban and I can swear to you it is not a troll. I don't understand why people claim troll so much ( long time reader), but I do agree this was a strange question. Thanks for everyone that replied, I have shared this with my neighbor ( especially the tips on essential oils). I think we have definitely deterred her from the axe. |

I teach kindergarten and my Latino boy students regularly come coated in cologne. Not cute, in my opinion. The kids are, though. It's one thing if a kid is old enough to ask for it (to be like dad/grandpa/brother/whoever) but no child needs it to smell better or be "CUTE." Paint your children's toenails all you want, I think that's totally different. |

| Nope. The only "body spray" going on my toddler is sunscreen. |
