My baby's breath stinks?

shes two months old and her breath smells like a combination of cheese and tuna. anything i can do to fix this?

My baby's breath stinks?
DO NOT USE HONEY! Children less than one year old are not supposed to have honey because it can cause botulism. I would clean her mouth with a soft cloth also. I was also told that some babies get stinky breath when they have to poop.
Reply:The only other thing I can think of is that sometimes bad breath is a sign of something more. for example, having a mouth thrush or an infection on the tonsils. However in most cases it is simply oral hygiene that can make the difference and help - if it persists after extra cleaning then I would look into the other options with a doctor.
Reply:you can take a damp cloth and was her mouth but that really only works for a bit i used peppermint in a little bit of water it works and doesnt hurt the tummy etc etc hope it helps and good luck PS DONT GIVE YOUR BABY HONEY! here is a good reason why read what the doc has to say http://www.webmd.com/content/article/41/...
Reply:Take a clean damp rag and softly rub down her tongue, gums and top of her mouth. My daughter loves when I do it to her, and it helps get them used to cleaning their gums so when it comes time for a toothbrush they will be used to it. Anyways it helps with my daughters breath very well.
Reply:That's totally normal for a baby breath to smell funny. It's from the nutrients and vitiamins in the milk that they drink. All you have to do it take one of her towels and run some warm water on it and gently wipe her tongue.
Reply:It could be thrush, which is a yeast infection of the mouth. If your baby has a white or white spots on the tongue, then get her in to the doctor.
Reply:take a little bit of honey dissolve in water and take a burping cloth and with this solution clean the tongue but only a little bit of honey.


but you can ask the doctor just in case is something else.
