Horrid breath

My daughter is 9 mo and has the most aweful breath. I brush her teeth ( with the finger cover thing and the tooth gel that comes with it). Doi need to move to a real toothbrush? She sucks on pacifiers at nap and bed but so did my boys and they never had this. Any ideas. It's really a bummer when I love to be in her face and giving kisses.

Has it been going on for a while or has it started happening recently? DS had bad breath recently and the got sick. His pedi said it was caused by post nasal drip or some sort of throat thing like strep or a sinus infection. It went away in a few days. I was reading up on it before he started getting sick and read it can also have something to do with pacifiers but I do t remember what you have to do about it.

No she's had it for a while now. I'd say a few months now.

Have you ruled out reflux issues? I know that can be a cause of bad breath. Does she spit up frequently?

Nope no reflux or spitting up. She has been teething a lot lately. She has 8 teeth now.

I know the women at DDs daycare always would tell me when DD1 was getting an ear infection, and they knew because they smelled her breath. These are old South American women who know their sh*t when it comes to kids, so I would go with some sort of ENT issue that may be chronic, or LO has had is off and on, and you may not remember her breath not smelling for a little while in between episodes.

that is weird! Never heard that before. I wonder! She doesn't seem overly fussy and now the breath is fine. As soon as I smell it getting bad again I'll have to watch her.
