Brushing can start when the first tooth appears. Flossing should start when the first two teeth are erupted. Talk to your doctor or dentist about fluoride. Look for discoloration of the teeth or mouth odor as signs of Baby Bottle Tooth Decay. You can start with a plan.
Parents often use a bottle as a way to calm and quite a baby, like a pacifier.
Set a goal. Decide on a length of time to wean your baby, like 2 weeks. Pick a stable time. Do not try this if you are moving or your baby is sick. Transition to water.
