bad baby breath

My 9.5 month old has the worse baby breath. It really smells. Anyone else's baby have this? Suggestions?

I don't smell it that often, but definitely smelly burps from blueberry yogurt..hahaha. Eww. Maybe brushing teeth would help if she has them. I know it's not with toothpaste but maybe it could help..I guess that's what we do when ours smell.

Little Dude started getting really bad breath when his teeth came in. I just picked up an infant toothbrush and toothpaste and added brushing his teeth to our night time routine. And it seems to keep it at bay.

Thanks for the tip. DS got bad breath when his 2 front teeth came in this last week. I was wondering what the heck was causing it.

My kid get bad breath every so often. Washing his mouth with a washcloth seemed to help. It stunk well before he ever got teeth, and it was definitely related to the solids he was eating. Some mornings when I get him out of bed, he has the worst morning breath. I try to brush his "tooth" at bath time each night. We don't even use toothpaste though.

The ladies at DDs DC say that bad breath is an indicator of a cold or ear infection. Whenever they said it, it was usually true, but I'm not sure if it as an across the board thing. DD1 has bad breath every time she eats hummus, but only then.
