My son is 18 months old. I havent got him off the MILK* bedttime bottle. COULD HE already have bottle rot?

Cut his milk in half for 2 nights---then half again 2 nightsuntil he only has a few sips. He may only need sips to fall asleep. Then give pure water--until he does not need it.

Make sure he drinks a sippy cup of milk before bed''first''. It's healthy to wash it down with water/it cleans the teeth of sugars in the mouth which cause dental caries.

Thanks for the answers! I am taking my son to the dentist tomorrow to find out! :) VeryClueless 7 months ago .

LUCK OF THE IRISH SAYS HE'LL BE FINE. HE'S YOUNGWATCH THE CANDIES & TEACH HIM TO BRUSH HIS TEETH WITHA TINY BABY BRUSH. :-) .

Water down his bottle 1st two nights 1 oz of water to 7 oz of milk, then 2oz of water to 6 oz of milk, etc etc until he either doesn't want it anymore or he's drinking plain water. It works! But, yes, he 'could' already have bottle rot - it depends on how vigilant you are with brushing his teeth too.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
