Sorry
, Didnt mean to be so blunt, I took my 21 mo old ds to the dentist today and he handed me this........
From the AAPD (pediatric Dentistry) 11994
"The risk of devastating nursing-pattern dental decay exists for the breast-fed child as it does for the bottle-fed child and is relate to extended and repetitive feeding times with prolonged exposure of erupted teeth to fermentable carbohydrate without appropriate oral hygiene measures"
There is also another piece under Baby bottle tooth decay -1996
Under recommendations"
Ad-libitum nocturnal breastfeeding should be avoided after the first primary tooth begins to erupt" My son got his first 2 bottom teeth at 3 mos!
I'd like to know where this AAPD gets its "common sense" info. Is there anything updated?. Will type more about his visit later
Thanx a bunch!
