Best Time To Give Toddler Their Bottle

Post by WarblerOn » Sun Nov 02, 2014 1:37 pm

: In the interest of oral health when toddlers are getting enough nutrition through solid food, when is a better time to give toddlers a bottle?

I'm completely lost on this one. I'm guessing during mealtimes?

Please help :) :thumbup:

To improve overall oral development in toddler's it is recommend for toddlers to stop using a bottle to drink their milk by the time they are 1. However, it is fairly common for children to continue using their bottle up to 3 or 4 years old. In this case, the best time to give a toddler a bottle is before they go to bed so they are less likely to fall asleep with it which may lead to tooth decay.

Hope this helps,
