P.s. noticed this underneath the reply box - what is it on about?
Already pinged:
•http://www.simplestepsdental.com/SS/ihtSS/r.WSIHW0...

Good spot Ladybug I(and thank you btw) - it's very interesting that it links to the same simpledental people that was quoted by Mulberrytree to supposedly counteract my supposed argument..........

For reference Columbia Commentary:<br />Breastfeeding and Tooth Decay, a Complex Issue

ETA - I think I actually take that back!!!! Shock horror!!!! It only comes on this thread so I suppose it could just be realted to the fact that someone has already linked to it. Tis a bit strange though!

Speaking of which - and as I know RM is missing my link sooo much:-

http://www.babyfriendly.org.uk/pdfs/torney_abstract.pdf
Breastfeeding and Infant Caries
Breast Milk and Cavities, Does Breastfeeding Cause Cavities? Baby Bottle Mouth, Reversing Tooth Decay, Early Childhood Caries
kellymom.com :: Is Breastfeeding Linked to Tooth Decay? - lots of references on this one!

I could probably dig out a few more if rachaelmae sings the Nick Nack Paddywack song again

Awww thats better

Love your links

I think the dental associations advice is that after 6months or when they have teeth, teeth should be brushed and night feeds minimal that applies to all drinks including breast milk.

Im unclear of your point?

So is it ok to give coke at night then so long as it's minimal?

I think this sums up my point - from one of my links

"Parent's know that young children grow rapidly, and they grow at night. When nighttime nursing, during the period of rapid growth, infants and young children get the best food on the planet to support their growth, human breast milk. Any policy advising against breastfeeding, especially at night, is a policy designed to thwart full and healthy child development. Reducing night time breastfeeding will therefore promote cavities."

Hurrah! Amazing - such a relief to hear something genuinely pro-breastfeeding, and not pussyfooting around to avoid offence... The world needs you, fussymum!

What? never mentioned coke...

Just that you need to look after their teeth regardless.

this is the advice from dental association:
“Scientific evidence relating to a proposed link between prolonged breastfeeding of children, after eruption of the primary teeth, and the development of early childhood caries is currently inconclusive. The BDA supports advice from the Department of Health that infants be exclusively breastfed up to the age of six months, where possible, followed by weaning onto solid foods. During weaning, the BDA recommends that on-demand nocturnal breastfeeding be discouraged so that milk does not remain in the mouth of a child while asleep. Early establishment of a good oral hygiene routine and regular visits to a dentist are important for all children, and the frequency of consumption of sugary food and drink should be limited.”

BDA April 2010

am genuinely confused!

Both boys got teeth early so have had teeth from 4 months. Sam sometimes still wants a feed during the night, but am slowly trying to encourage him to give these up. Should i be brushing his teeth after a nighttime feed?? And how does reducing night time feeds promote cavities?? Arrrgh! just another example on the contradictory advise around i suppose

Sorry, not had time to read through all the links.

I just brushed the girls teeth morning and night, Livvy BFed and Jessimae had Formula in the night up until they were about 10 months old.

I wouldnt worry I think however they are fed, night feds are inevitable and brushing morning and night is enough... cant imagine brushing at 3am LOLx
