    Deodorant...

    We have finally figured out what works. My brother is her physician and recommened just applying more often, the prescription-strength deodorant. We have also incorporated wipes for in between games, then a re-application of the deo. Hope she makes it through this tough time in her life soon...

    Drive to practice, Taylor Swift, & good hugs from mom/dad

    If they only knew how much these moments mean to us as parents. Speaking of that...when did I become my own father???

    Drive to practice, Taylor Swift, & good hugs from mom/dad

    Love the 30 minute drive each way to my daughter's practice. It gives us a chance to talk about the day/life of a 12 year old...just she and I. Yesterday, after discussing her school day, she started talking about a couple of problems she is having with pitching. Then we discussed her...

    Deodorant...

    I watched the video. What a good story & outcome for that girl. I can't even imagine what she's had to endure. I need to start saving $$ just in case my kid does need that procedure. Until then, we have more options to try. :).

    Deodorant...

    She's been shaving since she turned 11...a year+ ago. I like the baby wipes idea too. We'll try that I think.

    Deodorant...

    It breaks my heart to see her embarrassed. Hard enough being a girl...I hear. Let alone adding to the struggles. Thank you.

    Deodorant...

    It's just her arm pits that smell. She sweats on her back some too...but the odor comes from the arm pits. It is Arizona...but I don't want her embarrassed. Thank you.

    Deodorant...

    Come on now. My thread :). Everyone is entitled to their own opinion...and I welcome & am grateful for them all.

    Deodorant...

    She isn't on BC. But I will ask her doctor more questions...or get her into a nutritionist also. I do like that idea.

    Deodorant...

    Maybe I should have added, but didn't feel the need to...but she matured early, became a "woman" at 10 1/2. She is 5'7", 125 and is barely 12. Maybe her body is just getting used to itself. I appreciate all the suggestions. Thank you all.

    Deodorant...

    How do I put this...Yes, she really did stink. It isn't normal sweating that's causing it. Or maybe it is. But she had 4 games here in the Phx area on Saturday. She was smelly after game 2. I feel for her. Her doctor said today, to use it more often during the day. So maybe we will try...

    Deodorant...

    That's interesting. And worth a shot. Thank you.

    Deodorant...

    Doesn't sweat excessively. "Just" body odor. I'll monitor her diet more now that you ask, but I can tell you it's nothing out of the norm.

    Deodorant...

    Now that I have your attention...but I have a delicate matter. My poor 12 year old daughter, no matter what we have tried, nothing seems to help her body odor. She uses the prescription roll on at night, and her regualar stuff in the morning. We've also tried just using the prescription stuff at...

    Ok,... Decision time... Which bat should I go with?

    My kid loves her CF5 Insane. Lots of pop, and we may never buy a different bat type. When we were at the Colorado Sparkler this summer, we ran into a couple of coaches that said after a while the Xeno seemed to have lost some pop for them...and that their girls would only swing the newer Xeno's...

    Where can I find wide-width cleats?

    She pitches at the start of practice. Then when the rest of the girls show up, they warm up and do some sort of conditioning. Then they break into their groups...whether it be hitting/fielding/etc. Then at the end of practice, they do more conditioning. Usually this is one day during the week...

    Where can I find wide-width cleats?

    My 12u daughter is complaining that her big & small toes are hurting during practice. The sides of each toe are what are bothering her, usually during running & conditioning. I've looked online, albeit not much, for a wide-width option. Some advertise that they do sell them, but when I go to...

    Swimming on Game Day

    I agree with you, lostbayou21. I don't let my kids swim on game days either. I stil remember the one day when I defied my own father and swam. I remember feeling exhausted during the game later on that night...and no doubt resulted in our only loss of the season. Maybe it was good for me to feel...

    Batting machine bat

    I'd go the aluminum route as well. Check out your local Ross, Marshalls, or even Walmart as well for cheap aluminum bats.
