   Hiya, Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with their babies having stinky breath?? Jaxon is 9 months old and he has just started  over the past two days having bad breath. its not bad bad yet but I can just smell it and dont want it to get outta control.. I brush his teeth as he has 9. Hs two molars just came through... Or sometimes I use a flannel with tiny amount of paste on it. He just hates his teeth being brushed ... even the flannel is hard enough.. so it cant be because of not brushing his teeth and tongue?? ANy ideas or remedies??? |

   i think (but could be wrong here) that it is related to what they eat...??! 
 oh and sometimes can be a sign they are unwell too, or about to be.?

   I was going to say that maybe he is getting sick?  Ashleigh has been sick this past week and I could smell her breath - it wasn't stinky or anything but I could smell it when I normally can't.  She is nearly over her sickness now and the smell has gone.

   Other than illness causing it, is he getting enough fluids?  I noticed Kiya's breath got terrible when she was about 1yo.  I made sure she had access to water all day so she was drinking more and her breath improved.

   I have to agree with the unwell sign.Tyrell has had bad breath for a couple of weeks and he has had a sore ear for the same amount of time.
