  1. Thank you for the information.
    My baby is still on EBF and he is 4 months old. When should i start cleaning his mouth and gums.

    1. Dr Gbemisola Boyede

      You can clean the tongue and mouth with soft cloth dipped in clean water once a day or as necessary to remove the milk stains. You start brushing their teeth with soft brush and tooth paste once the first tooth erupts.

  2. I did not breastfeed my child when I gave birth to him I use the bottle, he has this bad breathe even after I clean his teeth. Pls how can I stop it.
