Is it appropriate for a 1 year old to use a bottle?

　　  Do you have children around one to one and a half years old? Are they still using bottles? According to scientific research, this time is the best time for children to give up using the bottle. If the child cannot quit the bottle before the age of 2, once this time is exceeded, it will develop a dependence on the bottle, and it will be difficult for the child to quit the habit of using the bottle. There are many hazards of children's long-term use of feeding bottles. If you don't believe me, look down!

　　  1. Obesity

　　  Why long-term use of feeding bottles can lead to obesity, one of the reasons is that parents are worried about their children's malnutrition and give their children formula milk powder. Formula milk powder is usually high in calories. Children who eat it for a long time will not only receive insufficient nutrition, but also lead to excessive calories in the body. In addition, the use of bottle feeding can make it difficult for mothers to control the amount of juice and milk, which is also one of the reasons for excess nutrition.

　　  2. Crooked teeth

　　  When the baby uses the bottle, the teeth will be misaligned due to the force of sucking. The main manifestation is that the child's upper deciduous teeth protrude forward, while the lower row deciduous teeth grow inward. Over time, the child's upper teeth and lower teeth will not be aligned, and finally lead to the phenomenon of misaligned teeth. Misaligned teeth not only affect the child's external image, but also cause a series of adverse results. First of all, misaligned teeth will easily lead to the accumulation of food residues in the teeth, which is not easy to discharge. Over time, the child's teeth will be decayed. In addition, uneven teeth will affect the child's daily pronunciation, which will make the child's speech slurred.

　　  3. Otitis media

　　   I didn’t expect that long-term use of a feeding bottle would also cause otitis media. Because many children have the bad habit of lying down and sucking from the bottle, when sucking the bottle in this way, it will cause the milk to flow along the Eustachian tube to the ear canal. Because this kind of behavior will lead to the problem of otitis media in children, which is also a big problem for children to use milk bottles for a long time.

　　  4. Tooth decay

　　  Because bottle feeding is different from breastfeeding, using a bottle can cause your child's teeth to soak in milk for a long time. Sucking milk and other sugar-containing liquids with a bottle for a long time will cause the surface of the teeth to be acidified by nutrients such as sugar. This acid attaches to the teeth and can erode away the child's teeth, and eventually the child will develop cavities. Secondly, using a feeding bottle during sleep will greatly reduce the secretion of saliva, which will increase the child's chance of tooth decay.

　　  We recommend that parents choose a cup for their child during this period and gradually increase the frequency of the child's use of the cup. You can try to let the child use a cup to feed the doll with water to improve the child's interest in using the cup. Also, even if your child doesn't like to use a cup, find ways to reduce the number of times you use a bottle.
