But why do some people--specifically kids--get it and others don't? Newborns and infants might have milky (or formula) mouths, but they don't have real, oh-my-goodness bad breath. The kind that makes you brush your teeth every morning when you wake up. That seems to develop sometime during childhood.

It's not due to having teeth, either. My kids developed teeth before they developed bad breath.

I could be worse...you could be looking at cooches all day long. I expect more than a few of those have "bad breath"...
