Toddler with bad breath

[*star*]

Hi all,

DD is 13 months old and lately we've noticed she has bad breath. Is this normal? Is there anything we should be doing to avoid this? We do a quick clean of her teeth in the bath (no toothpaste), but that's really all.

Thanks!

Stomach upsets can cause bad breath. Are you sure it's coming from the mouth? If she has something stuck up her nose or in her ear, that will cause a bad smell too.

It could be a sign that she's sick, or getting sick. When Nina had tonsilitis once, the first indication was bad breath.

Bad breath is a sure sign that Olivia is getting sick or has a cold.

My DS has had a cold for the last few weeks and had bad breath for a few days there. It's gone today, im hoping thats a sign that the cold is finally on its way out too!

My DD is a really stinkypottymouth when she's teething.
