Sometimes, it is very easy to leave the baby with a milk bottle, but do not do it. Leaving your toddler with a bottle is not only unhealthy, but it can also be dangerous.
When a baby falls asleep with a bottle, milk residue will remain in their mouth. When this occurs often, it may cause tooth decay. Additionally, leaving them with a bottle of milk may increase the risk of choking or infection.
It is important for your toddler’s dental health to always supervise them when they are eating. Remove them from the cot and hold them to ensure that everything is well.
Aside from milk, water is best for toddlers
It may be tempting to give toddlers sweet drinks, like fruit juices, but as much as possible, try to avoid these beverages. Aside from milk, toddlers should drink water throughout the day. Also, make them drink water in between milk feeding.
