/kloc-haven't quit the bottle since you were 0? What harm does it do to the baby to quit the bottle over time?

Bottle is a good helper for mothers. When mothers are busy, feeding can be handed over to the bottle. It is also very convenient to feed your baby with a bottle when you go out. It is normal for children to be inseparable from bottles when they are young, but long-term use of bottles is harmful to their babies.

When should the baby start giving up the bottle?

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that mothers should consciously give up the bottle when the baby is one year old, and after the baby 18 months, they should completely squeeze out the bottle and stop relying on it. But the domestic situation is that many babies are still using bottles when they are 2 years old. Some children can even eat at the same table as adults, but the tool for drinking water is still a bottle.

It is very harmful for children not to give up the bottle when they reach the age. Let's take a look:

First, it is not conducive to the development of children's teeth

If you can't quit the bottle for a long time, your child's tooth development will be hindered to some extent. Because a child will begin to grow deciduous teeth at the age of one, before the age of one, the child's sucking action seems normal, but after the child's teeth begin to develop, such action will make the child's teeth grow abnormally unsmooth. Children's teeth are prone to deformity, such as buckteeth, sparse teeth or tooth skew caused by too dense teeth. Although it is deciduous teeth, the growth of children's deciduous teeth is also very important for children to change their teeth. Children's young teeth are deformed, so they will not be so smooth when changing teeth. And some children like to sleep with a bottle at night, and they fall asleep with it. Even if they brush their teeth before going to bed, the effect will not be great. Therefore, if the child does not quit the bottle, it is easy for the baby to grow cavities.

Second, children who can't quit the bottle are prone to obesity.

Many children can't quit the bottle, which proves that children are too dependent on the bottle. The parents of these children generally love their children. Even if the child reaches the age of not drinking milk, the child's bottle is always filled with sugary drinks that the child likes to drink, such as sugar water and fruit juice. As long as the child wants to drink, parents will give it to the child. This can easily lead to obesity in children. Eating these high-sugar things for a long time will not only make children fat, but also lead to diseases such as hypertension and diabetes in adulthood, making children very unhealthy. Moreover, the child's weight gain will actually affect the normal growth of the child. Children who are too fat are less likely to grow taller.

How to help your baby quit the bottle reasonably?

Many parents don't give up bottles for their children because they don't know how to give up bottles for their children. The method is very simple. The key is that parents should know how to quit the bottle step by step. In the process of giving up the bottle for the child, it is impossible for the child to leave the bottle completely at once. Most of Zhu's children can't accept this practice. Slowly reduce the number of times children use bottles, so that children have an adaptation process. In this process, parents should let their children get familiar with the cup gradually. Teaching children how to use water cups is also a way to get them to give up bottles. Parents can choose some beautiful water cups, which can attract their children's attention and make them quit drinking water cups faster.
