    Thanks all. Her 2 yr old molars are starting to bulge a bit but not cutting just yet. She doesn't seem sick otherwise - no cough, runny nose, skin a good colour, plenty of energy and pretty chipper - but have noticed that occasionally she also smells a bit sick IYKWIM. That kind of stale, musty smell through hair and on skin. Will try baby-safe toothpaste first and then if it's persisting might also check out flossing and consider digestive issues. Thanks again for the tips.

    ETA - oh yeah, and no it's not a fruity smelly. Just kind of stale and off

    Glad to hear your DD is well overall. Maybe it is time to put like a tiny, tiny bit of toothpaste on her brush (it will foam a fair bit) and show her how to spit it out - that is how we taught DD - showed her how to spit it out. Initially she sort of just opened her mouth & it 'fell' out but then she got the gist of it fairly quickly. GL

    She hasn't stuck something up her nose? I know it sounds strange but if something is stuck up there and left long enough it can cause bad breath. Just an idea? Good Luck though!
