In general, a baby's mouth may have a faint milky aroma or no taste. However, if an abnormal taste is detected in the baby's mouth, it is very likely that the baby is sick. Parents must promptly detect such a condition and find the cause to fundamentally solve the problem of the baby's mouth having a taste. So, what is the reason for the baby's mouth having a taste?
There are many reasons why babies have a taste in their mouth, and it is very complex. It may be due to a disorder in the baby's gastrointestinal function or a certain disease in the body. There are three common situations, and suggestions are given for these three situations, as follows:
Firstly, the most common odor in the baby's mouth is sour and unpleasant. This is because when the baby is feeding milk or complementary foods, the residual milk residue and food in the mouth accumulate for too long, resulting in a sour odor. At this time, parents only need to let the baby drink some water after feeding milk or complementary foods to solve this problem of sour odor.
Secondly, if the baby has dental caries or other conditions, it is easy for bacteria to ferment and produce a sour and unpleasant odor. For this situation, it is recommended that mothers make the baby consciously rinse their mouth in daily life.
If the baby has a strong smell of rotten eggs in their mouth, they should not be careless. It may be due to gastrointestinal problems. In this case, it is recommended to give the baby more vegetables and fruits, and drink more water in daily life. This can help the baby clean their mouth, promote metabolism, and prevent constipation.
