Will the bacteria on my teeth multiply due to drinking milk? I brush like 3-5 times/day

If you brush your teeth that much, you're probably good.

sipping on any drink that contains carbs will cause the bacteria in the mouth to multiply.
Brushing would not help since the bristles of the brush do not get into the area in between the teeth--that's the area where most cavities happen. Ideally you could floss, in between the teeth after every "sugary sip" but that would be just too much : )
Hope that answered it

Hello Kevin Plus! Well, all I can say is that everything that is too much is bad for us. Milk is good for our teeth but it may also have a bad effect on you too. You may have hypercalcemia which means too much calcium in the blood which is also bad. Especially to elderly people that's why they just drink calcium tablets or vitamins and not milk. Long story, I just told you the short one so it'll be easy. That's all. I hope somehow I was able to help you Kevin. ^__^

You should be fine. Most adults eat/drink on and off all during the day but brush only 1 or 2 times (morning and/or evening).

It's probably time you were weaned so try some solids ...I should start off on fairly soft ones first.
