My 2 week old has bad breath?

Question

i am breast feeding & my baby's breath smells like sour milk. is there anything i can do?

Answer 1

It's probably because of the milk that stays in his mouth. try giving a little bit of water just to rinse his mouth after a feeding.  

Answer 2

Yes Girl! That happens to babies sometimes. It's probably from the milk on his tongue. Don't listen to the rude people.  

Answer 3

dont listen to awful rude people , fair play to you for asking it shows how much you love your baby, try giving her water ( cool boiled). and using a cloth ot clean her gums

Answer 4

It's just a build up of milk, just take a wet washcloth and wipe your baby's gums everyday. But, if it continues I would check with your baby's doctor at the next appointment.

Congrats and Good Luck  :)

Answer 5

you are not a bad mom, if my baby had stank breath, i would be concerned too. try giving her water after feeding her and i saw this lady put some lettuce to give fresher breath with cool water. i have not tried it but i know the water sans lettuce would work

Answer 6

oh gosh. that doesnt sound to loving coming from a mother.

you cant change the breath odor but you should not even be worrying about that really.

are you a young mother? or a first time mother? just curious?!  

Answer 7

Not at two weeks, your baby is fine just keep feeding on demand and loving your baby.

Answer 8

if it is noticeably bad than it could be thrush or another infection like that, talk to your doctor or pediatrician. Really at 2 weeks old there should be no odor at all
