Question:How do you prevent nursing bottle caries?
Answer:
Try not to let your baby fall asleep with a bottle. Juice, tea, and milk have sugars in them that become acidic in the mouth and can cause tooth decay. And don't forget, breast milk has sugar too! Avoid nursing your baby to sleep. Liquids given in the bottle after age one should routinally be water only.
