[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first one stopped at 18m (I was pregnant and I think my milk dried up), my second at 3years, and my 3rd is still nursing at 2. No issues with anything. In fact, my 2nd and 3rd children are the most independent. I like nursing my 3rd because it's the only time she'll snuggle and be calm.

I though that breastmilk isn't bad for their teeth like cow's milk? We brush teeth and then nurse. Either way, none of my kids have had any cavities yet.

I'm not crunchy in any way, but I always felt like I should let the kid decide when they want to stop nursing. 3.5 would be my limit though. [/quote]

I learned the hard way that breast milk can be as bad as cow’s milk. My older ones nursed past 2 and had no issues, but my youngest ended up with cavities on his top four front teeth. He nursed overnight and we were living in an area without fluoride in the water.

I was so embarrassed and upset it happened. The dentist 100% blamed the overnight on demand nursing. OP is doing the right thing by using wipes after nursing. I had no idea it could happen with breast milk. [/quote]
