antibiotics during pregnancy = tooth decay for babies

[<<>>]

So is there a link?
I always wondered why my dd's teeth started going bad at 6m and my younger dd's are perfect, even though we are doing the same thing...
i did take antibiotics during my first pregnancy, and not the second.
Anyone know if there is a link?

I've heard there is a link but really know nothing about it. I took antibiotics during one of my pregnancies and my daughter (9) hasn't had a cavity yet.

I took antibiotics during my third pregnancy. I was in teh middle of a round for strep when I got pregnant, 2 round for BV during my 1st trimester and 2 rounds for severe UTI/bladder/kidney infections and another round for BV sinec it can cause preterm labor. when that didn't clear it up we decide the antibiotics were becomng more a risk than preterm labor. She is my only child with tooth decay and they came out that way. it hasn't gotten any worse though. I don't know if it is even decay. It could just be a weird flaw in her teeth. but I am convinced the antibiotics are the culprit.
