Breast-Feeding and Baby Dental Health Care.
Studies show that breast-feeding is beneficial for both a baby’s health and development. However, if your baby prefers to be breast-fed often or for long periods of time, once a tooth appears and other foods/beverages have been introduced into his or her diet, your baby is at risk for severe tooth decay. Therefore make sure to clean your baby’s mouth with a wet washcloth after breast-feeding, and encourage a bottle with plain water during the nighttime.
