Wife sweating issues

She showers twice a day. I pitch in a lot to make sure she gets that time to shower. We do laundry regularly and she changes clothes each shower and at night. She sweats through both sets of sheets at night. The sweating really only happens at night. The Bo comes on in the evening and during the night.

Her doctor said breastfeeding and hormones are the reason and it should eventually resolve.

Our 13 week old is a typical baby but actually sleeps really well at night. Like he’s doing 4+ hours at a time. Naps aren’t the best but we have a sitter that helps a couple of times a week. Our toddler sleeps 12 hours and hardly ever wakes up at night. He is in FT daycare.



You "pitch in" to allow your wife to shower?
You realize this is your baby, too?

Wow. I had no idea new mothers reeked.

OP lives in a delulu world where women are objects, not people. So yeah, he clearly thinks he should win an award for watching his own kid; domestic labor is just something that happens and women never have smells or make noises he doesn't like because everything is for the pleasure of his peen.

In short, OP is an overgrown boy who needs to man up.

If it's as bad as OP says, then it wouldn't be magically hidden in the room with the doctor.

OP, with baby spit up and baby poop and changing hormones, your wife is going to have a smell probably if she showers 3 times a day. It is a phase that will pass with time.

You do not sound like a candidate for fatherhood.

My wife has some hormone issues that she didn’t have with our the first. She had dealt with body odor and excessive sweating after having our second child. I would like to politely broach the subject but I don’t know how without hurting her.


What is your diet? Are you white?


I’m not sure why our ethnicity matters but yes lol

Our diet is mostly healthy. We eat really healthy a good chunk of the time but we also enjoy less healthy options in moderation.


I'm SMH at your response because EVERYBODY will say exactly the same thing - we only eat poorly "in moderation" but that is so indefinable to be useless.


We eat a lot of healthy foods. Daily foods like organic chicken and pasture raised eggs, organic and grass fed dairy like Greek yogurt and cheese, organic fruits and veggies, and a complex carb like potatoes or whole grain bread. We stay away from ultra processed foods, seed oils, and added sugars. This makes up the bulk of diet. We enjoy some unhealthy takeout or dessert 1-2 times a week.

Bubble baths aren’t good for your lady area. It can cause irritation and infections like BV and yeast.

You must be a troll that this is your response to all of the above?

Indeed. Pregnant women and postpartum women have a very unique stench. Like onions and lunch meat. I have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and find it nauseating. I know they can’t help it, but it’s brutal to be around.
