Jade:I heard that giving milk bottle during bedtimes can cause teeth problems in 1- one and half year olds.
Dr Niyaf:Hi Jade, bottle feeding is not a recommended practice. Bottle feeding at bedtime is, as you have rightly pointed out, one of the common causes of dental caries in toddlers. The milk (inherently sweet and sometimes extra sweetened) stays in the mouth for a long time; creating an ideal tooth decay environment. It is better to get the milk feed over with before bedtime and get the child to brush his teeth before going to bed.
