Bad breath or "Halitosis" in children can occur due to several reasons like poor oral hygiene, mouth breathing, tooth decay, gum disease, infections in the mouth, bacteria on the tongue, dry mouth, tonsil stones, foreign objects in the nose and some medical conditions. Start with improving her oral hygiene by ensuring you brush her teeth for her twice a day and making sure you brush her tongue as well. Take her to see a dentist to exclude oral infections, decay, gum disease etc. If it's still persistent you may need to see a paediatrician as well to exclude other causes.

Hi mom, I cannot conclude if something is wrong or not without seeing the child. I will encourage you take your child to a speech therapist or a developmental paediatrician at any teaching hospital nearest to them for proper assessment and management.
The only beverage you should give to infants babies between 1 to 12 months is Water and milk. No Carbonated drinks, malt drinks, chocolate beverages, No Soda or Pop or Fizzy Drinks. Fresh fruit juice made in your kitchen is allowed from 9 months.
For my baby, my doctor recommended Baby tribotan and/or Cacatin. the good thing is that most primary health centers sell it
