Why is my 1yr Olds breath stinky?!

edited October 2012 in Babies Health
I have not started to brush his teeth, but I am gonna start now. Its not really bad but it smells like milk breath. Today was the first time it really seemed noticeable to me and I was wondering if it was my pregnancy nose picking up on the craziest things but even my boyfriend mentioned it.

Is this normal?

Also looking for tips on brushing a one year old teeth, how often, how to, and what products do u recommend?

    We brush Rion's teeth every night during bath time, we use infants tooth paste made by orajel brand, it has elmo on it. Then we let him chew on it by himself, thats what my dentist said to do. Then we give him a little cup of water to drink.

    I brush Lilys teeth after her bath before bed every night with gerber infant tooth paste and I let her chew on the tooth brush after I'm done. Her tooth paste is banana flavored and she seems to really like it

    I let my son chew on his tooth brush then brush his teeth. I use the nuby toothbrush and toothpaste. And I do it in the morning and at night.

    It can also be a sign of an upset tummy. :/

    We have the beginner tooth brush and toothpaste from Target. The tooth paste is fluoride free. We took Sidney to the dentist this month, so she can start getting used to it. The dentist said twice a day. We are kinds bad about the twice a day, but she always gets them brushed in the bath tub. Make sure you use a very soft brissle brush and floride free toothpaste til they know how to spit it out.

    @wilsomom I was also reading just now that it can be related to sinusitus or allergies that can cause congestion and therefore the baby breathes with their mouth open which causes more dryness. I told his Pedi that he has been congested for the past month and she shook it off, but its all worrying me now!

    When Mari was younger her breath was stinky but sweet (I liked it...weird I know). Bad breath can be a symptom of thrush too.
