Dental Guide for Babies

Bottle feeding

Most babies will feed from a bottle at some stage, either from birth or in conjunction with breast feeding. What you put in your baby's bottle can have a major impact on the future of their teeth, so We advise you to follow these simple guidelines:
  • Wherever possible only put water or milk in your baby's bottle
  • Don't be tempted to put fruit juices in a bottle. The acid can attack your baby's teeth.
  • Even very weak fruit squash can damage your baby's teeth. Stick with water or milk to keep the risk of decay to a minimum
