Ok ma. Thanks for this. I'm guessing it's only water you used in wetting the cotton wool abi. Cuz my MIL is on my neck to use glycerin instead.
Some people use glycerin and others use just water. If your baby is less than 6 months I'd suggest you skip the glycerine and use just water.

I use only water. My grandma used only water for me when i was a baby and I have zero mouth odour. In short if i don't brush for three days you may not know. Even morning breath i don't have.

Now that lo has teeth and is eating adult food, I've started using toothpaste. I have no option especially since i use a lot of spring onions when preparing his food. I'm yet to buy his own paste so i just use very tiny amounts of regular close-up. I'm still using cotton wool because it's easier to access his tongue that way than with the oyinbo finger brush i bought.

Please not just before noon. He needs early morning sun. By 9-10am its already too late. Bring him out for 1st sun, lets say around 7. 8 is even late gan.

Then avoid using anything containing menthol e.g mentholatum, silverbird, camphor etc around or on him. Keep such things very very far for now.

I have a funny question to ask
Since I put to bed, like after 2days, I noticed I've been farting alot! As in I fart like there's no tomorrow! Not the silent ones o. The really loud prolonged ones. Plus the smell is something else too!

2.5ml morning and night is more appropriate.

Jazzyjazz I rem u said u've been taking lots of tea. And so lots of milk too. Milk makes me fart a lot too. That may be one of d causes, in addition to the peppersoup like one other mama has said
Added: even the days u don't take it, you may still hv remnants in ur system from the previous day

I fart alot too.
Since i gave birth but it seems to be reducing cos i go through some days without farting

I will check if milk is d culprit now.
My MIL says my body is readjusting after childbirth n its only normal one farts to let everything fall in place.

But 4 d smell. I try to pu right after i get a smelly one. N it helps.
