Infant Bad Breath

Babies are suppose to smell good aren't they? This reminds me of the Seinfeld show where they all look at the baby and realize its got to be the ugliest baby they've ever seen. Babies I'm told are suppose to smell sweet and fresh from all the baby powder, right? 

But here's the scenario: You look down into the crib and that baby looks so innocent and beautiful. The parent (my sister) wants you to hold junior and cuddle him. So you reach down and pick him up.  Your nose takes over and you begin to think, when was the last time junior was changed?  After a little more investigation you realize the stink is coming from his mouth. So you think, what's this stinky breath all about?

In this case junior over-powered the baby powder and even the nasty diaper smell. So I asked myself, why would junior have bad breath?

If you've gotten this far you probably want to know the  reasons why, right.  Your going to have to follow this link to find out why.
