Bad breath is generally more common among adults, and babies have the smell of breast milk in their mouths since birth. Mothers especially love the taste in their children's mouths, and the aroma of milk is particularly pleasant. But as children grow older, some may experience bad breath, which can be confusing for parents. Let's take a look at what causes bad breath in a 2-year-old baby.
1. The reason why babies have bad breath may be related to the food they eat. If the food they eat is not easy to digest for their digestive system, they will have bad breath, especially after waking up. After a while of activity, the bad breath will disappear. If the baby has difficulty digesting, eat less and gradually.
2. When babies have oral problems, they may also experience bad breath. If there are ulcerated areas in the mouth or inflammation of the gums, there may be bad breath. At this time, it is necessary to pay attention to oral hygiene, brush your teeth regularly every day to clean your mouth, and brush your teeth before going to bed to alleviate this bad breath.
3. Poor development of the gastrointestinal system may also lead to such a situation, where the food eaten cannot be better broken down in the intestines and stomach, and the baby's bad breath becomes severe after sleeping. Food cannot be properly digested, so if it stays in the stomach for a long time, there will be a strange odor coming out of the mouth. Smelling it by others is a sign of bad breath.
