Bad breath?

My two week old has smelly breath, she is drinking breast milk, and is almost always a mouth breather when she's sleeping. Is this normal? She burps but rarely spits up anything.

The smell is a vomit smell..

    I'd say that it's not normal but I'm no expert. I love the way my LO's breath smells. It definitely doesn't smell like vomit.. 0_o

    I forgot to add, her tongue is always white from drinking my milk... At first I didn't think much of it but now I'm getting worried

    Can you wipe the white off her tongue with a wash cloth? If yes then it's milk. If no it may be thrush. I don't know if this will affect her breath but it may. I would suggest you see a doctor or lactation consultant

    Like PP said bad breath isn't normal. I actually like the way my LO's breath smells.

    I don't like my LO's breath at all. It smells like sour milk. He's FF though. I will be asking my Pedi to take a wiff at my next appt.

    If her nose is stuffed she may be mouth breathing. Mouth breathing in itself can cause dry mouth which in turn allows for bacteria to grow which in turn can cause "bad breath". I would mention it to your pedi and I would put a few saline drops up her nose and then suction to see if you get anything out. Good luck!

    Usually my lo's breath is fine but I've also smelt sour milk a few times. Usually right before she spits up (she is ebf).
