Help for Bad Toddler Breath

Friday July 11, 2008
My son had the sweetest, buttery breath when he was breastfeeding. Some time around two years of age, however, his nose would become stuffy from allergies and he could knock me over with the bad breath that resulted. At the time, I didn't realize how common this is. But it's true-- even toddlers can have bad breath. Luckily for everyone involved, it's usually a very easy problem to treat.

Yes, I too was shocked that my sweet little guy could have the same “stinky” issues that we adults have! Even as a baby, he also had stinky feet after wearing sandals! I was shocked at that and maybe I shouldn’t have been (he is my first so I guess it is all a learning experience)! He is 3 now and I make sure to brush his teeth well in the morning and evening. I let him do it himself first, but then will help afterwards since he still has a hard time with it. It definitely helps!
