Bad breath is a result of bacteria growth in the mouth. The easiest solution is to brush and floss regularly, try to do it once in the morning, just after breakfast, and then just before bed. If this doesn't clear it try after each meal.

Bad breath comes from Germs in your stomach, Not just in your mouth. So this is not always what she is eating but how she is digesting also.Speak to your dentist or Primary care Doctor about solutions.

It could be a number of things. It would be best to check out what the little ones are eating. You have to be certain that the foods they are eating can be disgested easily. Make sure they are not constipated. If there's still uncertainty, seek medical attention.
