Question for dentists. Does extended breastfeeding damage a child's teeth?

Question

I am asking this because many believe this is a valid reason for weaning at the age of 12 months.

The mullet - Please clairfy which statement you think is dumb? Mine or one of the answers that I received. I'm just not sure how to take your statement.

Answer 1

there is no damage that can be done. you might have heard of baby bottle decay which comes from putting a kid to bed with bottle of milk or juice that they sip on all night long. that is indeed no good.

just make sure to brush them good at least once a day. fluoride toothpaste is fine as long as they don't eat a whole tube of it.
