Does night nursing cause tooth decay?

Question

Aasima · Answer

Thanks y’all. I think she’s nursing more for comfort. Her teeth are coming in

Melissa · Answer

My pedi says it can. When he wakes up I just let him nurse a little to go back to sleep and then unlatch him.

Aasima · Answer

She nurses throughout the night after brushing her teeth. In fact she nurses the most at night. Now I’m considering weaning her.

At this point she shouldn’t need to nurse through the night. You can start cutting out a feeding at a time I suppose but I’d just try cold turkey and maybe do snuggles

Yes. Breast milk has sugar in it, so nursing at night after brushing a child’s teeth can lead to decay.
