How can the eight-month-old baby have a bit of bad breath recently?
An 8-month-old baby with a bit of bad breath may be caused by physiological factors or pathological factors. If the symptoms are more severe, it is recommended that parents take the baby to the hospital in time.
1. Physiological factors
1. Improper feeding: If you do not pay attention to the baby's healthy diet and often give the baby some indigestible food, it may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in food accumulation, which will also cause the above situation. It can be improved by adjusting the dietary structure, and try to focus on light and easy-to-digest foods, such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, etc.
2. Oral cleaning is not in place: due to the young age of the 8-month-old baby, it does not have the ability to brush and rinse the mouth, if the oral hygiene is not done well after eating, it will lead to the accumulation of food residues in the gaps between the teeth, thus breeding bacteria and causing symptoms of bad breath.
Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job of oral care, rinse your mouth in time after eating, and also develop a good habit of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening.
2. Pathological factors
If it is breastfeeding, the mother eats too much spicy and irritating food or greasy food, which can easily lead to a decrease in milk quality, so that the baby can not get an adequate supply of nutrients, which will affect physical development, and even be accompanied by abdominal distention, loss of appetite and other symptoms. Complementary foods can be appropriately added, such as egg yolks, vegetable puree, etc., which can supplement a variety of nutrients needed by the body, and can also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is conducive to relieving discomfort.
In addition to this, it may also be associated with acute enteritis, and patients are advised to identify the cause and treat it.
