Yeah really how would you tell someone you love they reek like B.o?

'Kourtney stinks of B.O.!': Scott Disick laments his earth mother girlfriend's decision to give up deodorant while breastfeeding

Kourtney Kardashian has turned earth mother and only uses natural products and remedies.
But one thing her nearest and dearest aren’t too happy about is her decision to ditch the deodorant.
Khloe confronts Kourtney’s partner Scott Disick about the way her sister smells during a preview clip from the new season of Kourtney and Kim Take Miami.

‘Do you notice that there’s a little something with Kourt?’ Khloe asks as they enjoy a peaceful spot of repose on the balcony. ‘Like, the BO?’
Scott immediately agrees: ‘Yeah, she reeks.’
He explains the smell is just a result of Kourtney’s bid to stay all natural.
‘Only because she doesn’t believe in wearing deodorant because she thinks it’s bad for her breastfeeding or something,’ Scott says, which is met by a scream from Khloe.

Blunt as always: Kourtney's sister Khloe broached the subject and asked Scott if he has noticed 'the BO'
‘It’s uncomfortable,’ Scott admits. ‘You don’t want to tell somebody you love that they stink.’
But Khloe takes a typically blunt approach to the matter and says: ‘I just think, a little dab will do ya.’
Khloe tells the cameras: ‘I’m not surprised that Scott knows. I got a whiff of her, and everyone should know. Typically I would tell Kourtney that she stinks, but Kourtney has a lot going on.

...Does deodorant really have a negative effect on breastfeeding? That sounds like bullshit to me but I have no experience with breastfeeding, so...

I think it's just because deodorant can have harmful chemicals in general.

deodorant in general is actually kind of bad for you with the chemicals and the way it blocks up your sweat glands but it depends on your body

I totally went the other way on this. Everyone's thinking about chemicals and I just remember how careful I was with the last little girl I nannied for when it came to strong smells, so I'm imagining that the strong scent of the deodorant would irritate a tiny nose so close to it.

I wear unscented deodorants because I don't want to smell like my deodorant, I want to smell like my perfume. (And I don't want it to infere with the perfume). I remember people saying to me in high school "you always smell like baby powder!" as a compliment, but it was my deodorant and I cut that shit out.

LMFAO ZING! There's so many of those kind of people populating the earth rn. My friend refuses to give her kids vaccinations because she thinks it causes autism even though I keep TELLING her the so-called "proof" was by a quack. And whopping cough is on the rise because parents won't give their kids their immunizations so children are dying. Dumbest shit ever!

My mom's an anti-vaxor and shit sucks, man.

It's like, you just gotta avoid the topic of common sense with them. I know they say "if it's so bad, then how come no one has it anymore?" because everyone is vaccinated dum dum! But go to a 3rd world country and you'll see people dying over something that apparently ain't that "serious"
babyyouloveit 19th-Jan-2013 02:14 am (UTC)
Exactly!

Oh god. I'm exactly the opposite. I'm even making everyone in my family get up to date on their vaccinations before my kid's born, TB's some serious shit.

I wish a clear link of what exactly does cause autism could be determined so people will stop harming their kids with this bullshit.

I'm not 100% sure about the connection between deodorant and breast feeding, but there have been studies that showed the chemicals in sunscreen were found in breast milk (meaning the mothers used sunscreen on their skin and then the chemicals showed up in their breast milk).

Anti-perspirants contain aluminum which has been linked to Alzheimers. Even for a non-breastfeeding woman, it's worth thinking about whether you want to absorb aluminum into your skin every single day. But for a breastfeeding mom, it can be concerning to think that you are exposing your child to aluminum at such a young age.

Anti-perspirants keep you from sweating so when you stop using them, your pores start pushing out all the crap that's been clogged in there. A lot of people say that for the first few weeks, they stink like crazy because they're sweating so much, but after that they don't smell at all. I guess it's some kind of detox effect.

Sweating is actually good for you and you only stink once the sweat starts to form bacteria. If you use products that absorb the sweat or prevent bacteria from forming, you won't stink. Coconut oil is antibacterial and arrowroot powder absorbs moisture, so it's AWESOME.

When I made the switch, I made my poor husband smell me every single day to make sure I didn't stink.

breast cancer has been found to occur more often closer to the area where you apply deodorant. not conclusive, but the study's results were interesting.
