What to do if your five-month-old baby has bad breath

The arrival of a child brings infinite joy to the whole family. Mothers not only have to regulate their own bodies but also gradually adapt to their new identities. How to take care of the baby has become a topic among new mothers. Scientific feeding and early education of children have become things that mothers worry about. The most distressing thing is that the baby suddenly gets sick or has abnormal physical phenomena and they don’t know how to deal with it. Let’s talk about what to do if a five-month-old baby has bad breath.

There are several main reasons why babies have bad breath. As long as you prescribe the right medicine, the baby's bad breath problem can be solved. Generally speaking, the most common reason for bad breath in babies is poor gastrointestinal function and indigestion problems. In addition, bad breath can also be caused by illness in babies, such as oral ulcers and thick tongue coating, which can cause bad breath in babies.

To solve the problem of baby's bad breath, we need to find a solution based on the cause of the baby's bad breath. For example, to improve your baby's diet structure, do not let your baby be partial to dairy products or meat, but eat them together with fruits and vegetables to increase fiber and promote intestinal peristalsis. Give your baby food that is easily digestible, and don't let him eat too much during meals. Just 80% to 90% full is enough. If your baby has oral problems such as oral ulcers or gingivitis, pay attention to supplementing vitamin B and vitamin C. Mothers can also use a special toothbrush for babies or wrap gauze around their fingers to clean their baby's teeth and mouth. There is no need to use toothpaste, just clean water. In addition, do not let your baby eat sweet or greasy food before going to bed.

Five-month-old babies have just started to add complementary foods. Parents should observe the baby's condition carefully. If the baby is allergic to some foods, change other foods. If there is any abnormality in the body, seek medical attention in time. Children are still young and many body functions are still very fragile. Don't cause inevitable trouble to the baby because of carelessness. Five-month-old babies begin to have their own thoughts, and their taste buds are getting better and better. Parents should take their babies for regular physical examinations, and pay attention to small changes in the baby's growth and development and cultivate them.
