Baby, your breath wreaks!

Does your LO's breath stink like dirty, wet feet? You know what flip flops smell like after they get wet and you wear them a few times? Make sense? Cheesy, bacteria-y smell. It's not as horrible as I'm making it out to be, but I wanted to describe the smell. I wiped her gums and tongue with a wet gauze pad. I wonder if I can use a tiny dab of non fluoride tooth paste on the gauze. No white patches to indicate thrush. Doc checked her today at her appt and all was well. I didn't ask about her breath bc I noticed after we were home. Anyone else notice foul milky baby breath?

    No, his breath smells fine to me. Is your LO BF or FF?
    BF. No smell now after I wiped her mouth again. So weird.

    @Xan84 - yes she does...I initially thought it was thrush bc it was white and I researched....it wasn't. Could be her tongue. Wish they had a baby tongue scraper! I love mine! :P

    I agree with @sapatel1...could be reflux. That generally has that foul milk smell.

    I'd use a wet wash cloth to wipe down her gums and tongue if it's that bad. I wouldn't start using toothpaste until closer to 1 year old though.

    My mom told me that back in the day they were advised to boil water, cool it, and then take a soft towel dip it in the boiled water and rub it on baby's tongue and gums.

    Yes, my baby's breath is sour and spoiled milk. It's due to reflux. You should read on other symptoms of reflux and see if she has it. :( my ped won't give us meds for it though bc according to him, it's not that bad. So here we are..suffering and smelling bad breath.
