For children, a bottle is a very common tool, which can be used to drink water and milk. Some children will continue to use formula after losing breast milk, and at this time, they will use a pacifier bottle. After using it for a long time, children will also get used to the bottle. If parents take away the bottle or do not use it for their children, they will cry and resist. Therefore, parents should let their children quit using bottles at the appropriate time. So, at what age should pacifier bottles be discontinued?
Stop using pacifier bottles at the age of one. Parents should exercise their children more and learn to drink milk and water from a cup. They can also learn to use a spoon for food. The child's control ability will gradually improve, so it takes time to break the bottle. Parents should not be too anxious. If a child uses a bottle for a long time, it may cause some adverse problems, such as abnormal tooth growth or sparse growth, which can affect the normal development of the child's mouth. Therefore, parents should pay attention to it.
When children use a water cup to drink water, they should start slowly, starting with a straw. In addition, parents should try not to let their children sleep with a bottle in their mouth, as teeth are always soaked in milk, which can easily lead to tooth decay.
Bottle is the main tool for children's diet, which can give them a certain sense of security. Therefore, it is not easy to quit bottle feeding. Parents should encourage their children to try to accept water bottles, and they can buy some brightly colored ones to attract their interest. However, pacifier bottles should also be regularly cleaned to ensure the hygiene of children's drinking water.
