[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2 youngest needed a sippy cup of milk in their beds. They would half wake up, drink it & go back to sleep. One has outgrown it. One still does. I know this is horrific fir their teeth but I’ll pick my battles - sleep and sanity for the rest of the house outweighs the dental stuff at this point. I switched to 2% milk and it didn’t work. The youngest needs whole milk to feel full in thr night. I know it’s ridiculous but a snack before bed doesn’t work. I think she just has a crazy metabolism.

I'm a PP. I sort of want to try this for my son, but I'm worried that 1) the sippy cup will leak all over the sheets, 2) he won't be able to find the sippy cup at night and will start screaming, 3) he'll throw his sippy cup out of the crib and make us keep coming in to give it to him. Has any of this stuff happened to you?[/quote]

My kids had a baby bottle near their bed with milk until 3 or so. They would drink it most days. Absolutely no issues with teeth or anything at all. This fear of getting cavities from drinking milk is ridiculous.

And to add, I have seen plenty of kids with cavities that don’t drink milk at night and (supposedly) limit sugar during the day. Moms, if you let your 5, 6, 7 year old brush their teeth, they are much more likely to get cavities. [/quote]
