Does feeding babies with milk through out the night help teeth get stronger?
No, in fact the sugar content of milk will promote decay. These children develop a form of dental caries involving several teeth in the mouth. This form of caries is called nursing bottle caries. Nursing bottle caries is usually associated with prolonged bottle feeding of sugar containing drinks such as milk and juices. They may occur due to bottle-feeding at bedtime or during sleep and lack of cleansing of the teeth thereafter.
