hello a very good afternoon,
it might be because of feeding in the night. since milk contains sugar part also. it vl stay in mouth in the night.
bacterial activity is more in the night as salivary flow is less. better u avoid feeding in the night or else she is grown up now after feeding she has to brush her teeth.
mouth should be clean before u sleep that is the main funda
