Question for moms for a friend
Her baby is a month older than mine (so 7 months) and she is getting pressure to stop giving her baby a bottle before bed. So she wants to know what other new moms thought. When did you stop giving the bedtime bottle?

Re: Question for moms for a friend
I breastfeed, so no bottles at all, but my son is 17 months and he still BFs before bed. We rock in his rocking chair and I sing him a song while he nurses.
I really don't understand where all these "deadlines" come from when dealing with babies. JMHO.
We only stopped giving DS a bottle before bedtime when he was around 1 yr old.
I've always heard that even though most babies over the age of 6 months old are already eating solids, the breastmilk or formula is still their main source of nutrition. The solids they are eating are just to supplement their intake. Therefore, I see no reason why she would want to stop a bottle before bedtime, other than that it may be bad for the LO's teeth if they are being put to bed after a bottle without brushing their teeth.
Are you sure the doctor wasn't just telling her "no letting them go to bed with a bottle?"
I know that you shouldn't put baby to bed with a bottle, something about early tooth decay, but you should always offer a bottle or breast before bed. Dani always has breastmilk before bed, it's part of her routine.
