    Question Baby with bad breath, teething?

    DH and I have noticed lately that Sari has bad breath, she has 2 new teeth cutting (to make a grand total of 6) do you think this is why? Her wee smells very strong too and she as a rash on her face, all teething related I know... just worried bad breath might be a sign of something else? Is it too early to brush her pegs?

    It's never too early to give their teeth a brush or a rub with a soft cloth.

    Ellie loves me brushing her two tiny teeth. She likes the toothpaste LOL! Rinse and spit, yeah right, with a baby? I just scrape the milk teeth toothpaste on the brush so there's barely any.

    Ellie has had bad breath forever. I just think its from the formula. But then again her wee is strong smelling when she's teething. Could be that. Anyway I think its better to get them used to the toothbrush early before they hate having them brushed. Soon they'll want to do it themselves and that's great.

    It wouldn't hurt to get it checked out if you are worried as bad breath can be symptomatic of other things.
