[quote=Anonymous]Why do you need to get off the bottle so badly? My first kept the bottle until she self weaned at 2. Second is still going strong at 15 months. They both have perfect teeth in terms of palate, spacing, absence of cavities, no open bite, etc. It’s an old wives tale that bottles ruin teeth. The bottle is only in the mouth a few minutes at a time. Kids who exclusively breastfed aren’t expected to quit at one. Why are bottle-fed babies? We acknowledge breastfeeding has psychological benefits of providing comfort. Why are we so eager to take that comfort away from bottle-fed babies? I truly don’t understand the issue. Also, why on earth haven’t you tried a straw?! You sound kind of rigid and nuts.[/quote]
