Sinus infection? Do you nurse - and could it be from something you ate?

Does he seemed "shtupped" in his nose/ears? Breathing through his mouth?

Or is he constipated? What kind of smell is it?

Brush his teeth and gums with infant toothpaste.
See if it helps

You should visit the pediatrician. I was told by our pediatrician that bad breath can come from several sources: dental, sinus and gastro (digestive system).

Some kids have bad breath when they are getting sick. another thing may be reflux, bad breath is one of the signs.

It could also be the pacifier that needs to be replaced.

Bad breath in babies can be a sign of gastric issues.
Is the baby underweight? Have any feeding issues?
If so, it would be wise to see a pediatric gastroenterologist as soon as you can.
