my son is 2.5 years old and only has a bottle of a night to go bed with. during the day and with his food he will use a cup with a straw x

Try and get on an open cup as not good for their teeth to still have bottles at that age. Also you want to brush teeth last thing before bed with no milk after. Just water if needed

@Francesca not sure if you’re talking to me but appreciate the advice! however my son goes dentist and his teeth and perfectly fine for his age, he only has the 1 bottle at night and his teeth are brushed every morning (he’s still getting use to the toothbrush) and tbh he’s still getting use to keep a cup down while drinking through a straw so it’s a slow process at the minute!😇 and thankfully he hasn’t had a dummy since he was about 10/11 months old x

@Autumn I used a comfort bottle of milk before bed and in the morning until my first day of primary school and I had absolutely no teeth problems, my son loves his night and morning bottle and I don’t see the rush in taking it away. I don’t even see how less than 10 minutes a day of sucking could even remotely ruin the teeth, or the shape of the palate! What I started doing is just water down semi skimmed milk (half milk half water) just so it’s not too heavy but otherwise honestly I wouldn’t stress! I was genuinely curious what’s the majority of kids doing at this age, but won’t change my choice đŸ„°

she never took a bottle but she still breastfeeds just before bed, so still having milk!

@Veronica i 100% agree with you!! i’m definitely not in a rush to get rid of his bottle as like you said less than 10 minutes of sucking on a bottle a day won’t do any damage to his teeth😇x

Like a baby bottle? If so, no he drinks from a sippy cup, water bottle, regular cup


My boy still has a bottle in the evening then we brush his teeth. My boy doesn’t get a lot of dairy in diet as he doesn’t like cheese or yogurt
so we will keep giving him the bottles 
it’s not hurting him so why not â˜ș

We still have one bottle before bed too. I was really worried incase it started to affect her teeth, but lI spoke to the dentist and she said as long as we stop before she turns 3 there’s no risk of damage to her teeth. X

No. You should transition to straw bottles or open cups so they can get used to those.

Didn’t read the full comment you wrote, it seemed quite rude, and it seems as if you deleted it. But what I commented is what I did obviously with my kids or I wouldn’t have said it, and clearly other ppl are saying the same thing.

Nothing rude here! I was just pointing out this is simply a poll, not a request for recommendations ;) but thanks for your input 😄
