Took Camden to the dentist today and they told us to break the bottle of milk at bedtime and naptime to use just…

Right. And while its good to form good habits early....the baby teeth are gonna fall out. Lol. I had rot mouth as a child. My grandma gave me bottles until i was 7!!!!! I have beautiful teeth now. A few cavities in back but that was my own fault eating sweets as a young adult.

@arivera64, @b3autifulm3ss, great plan ladies lol!! I just don't understand why they lecture so bad on stuff like that like I know I have to break it but it's not worth him stressing out over

Lol @b3autifulm3ss

@arivera64 its 4 for me too lol 🤣😂

@arivera64 thats what i did to with his dr lol

Yup thats what i do at the wic office when they ask me how much juice my 3 yr old drinks etc. Oh just a 4oz cup diluted with water, a cup of milk, and then water the rest of the day. After 4 kids i know what to say to get out of there asap

@arivera64, I might just do that to save a lecture lol!!! 😂

@b3autifulm3ss, nope no cavities they said he has wonderful looking teeth lol! Good to know that I'm not the only mom ☺

@camdensmommy0114 does he have cavities? My son wanted his night time bottle until he was 18 months, i slowly broke him of it after a year. He doesnt have any cavities, i would get him ready for bed, brush his teeth, give him a bottle then brush his teeth first thing in the morning

Aww ley the baby have his bottle. Next time just tell them he's done with the bottle lol

@arivera64, your exactly right!!! That's my opinion too! I feel like when they're ready to do things they will but only they know when. Plus he's also preemie so he's on a corrected age of 13 months old that they do by too. He's taking a sippy cup more of water during the day he just wants the bottle at bedtime and 1 naptime a day

You're welcome. I know it can be rough. People seem to think that after a year old a child magically grows up and is supposed to accept a cup, walk, start potty training etc. At 1 they are still a baby imo. As long as you are slowly working towards things and not just enabling, it will be ok.

@arivera64, thanks girl! He actually has those lol we've been slowly introducing his toothbrush to him but he rather me wipe around his mouth with those he even like sucks on them lol he's teething still! I will definately do that until he's ready to break this routine himself :) I don't want to put too much stress on him

Yeah but give him his bottle and when he falls asleep then wipe around his mouth with a warm washcloth. They even make tooth and gum wipes for babies. Would he wake up or something?

We've tried that tonight lol! His issue is he wants the full bottle to fall asleep with it's I'm not sure if it's a comfort thing for him or what. I brushed his teeth after that bottle @arivera64,

Give him his bottle and clean his mouth with a washcloth after he drinks. The issue is with the milk sitting on the teeth causes cavities.
